Research undertaken by global Professional Skincare brand Environ has found that many women experience feelings of discomfort, embarrassment, and sadness relating to the menopausal transition of the skin.
The research, which was conducted amongst a group of over 800 female respondents primarily between the ages of 45 and 59 years old, was undertaken to expose the human truths behind the physical effects of menopause on the skin.
The results reveal much about key skincare concerns, and that women experiencing this stage of life continue to carry the burden of societal stigma and miscommunication. Furthermore, that menopause is something that is quietly suffered alone, or overmedicalised and managed simply with hormone replacement therapy.
When asked how respondents felt about the effects of menopause on their skin, only 13% cited a degree of acceptance. The overwhelming majority of the group used descriptors such as ‘sad’, ‘awful’, ‘embarrassed’ and frustrated. Some women even cited that they felt the need to ‘cover up’ and that their skin made them feel ‘unattractive’ and ‘depressed’.
