“The biggest changes during the menopause are arguably to the top layers of the skin though, including to the skin barrier. Changes here will have a bigger impact on skin’s resilience, radiance and how healthy the skin looks and feels.
“We know from our scientific research with the University of Manchester that declining oestrogen levels during the menopause transition reduce the amount of nourishing lipids in the skin barrier, which play a role in keeping skin supple and hydrated.
“The living part of the skin becomes thinner too, whilst the layer of dead skin cells at the skin surface becomes thicker, impacting skin dullness and dryness.”
The No7 Menopause Skincare line comprises an Instant Radiance Serum, Protect and Hydrate Day Cream, Nourishing Overnight Cream, and an Instant Cooling Mist.
Dr Eleanor explained: “The No7 menopause collection has been specifically designed for women in perimenopause or the menopause transition.
“The ideal time to start using the products is when you start to notice your skin changing during this time. If you start noticing that your skin is fluctuating more, feeling drier, looking less radiant and feeling more sensitive for example as you hit the perimenopause , then that would be the time to start using the range.
