Skincare for the menopause phase
WHEN we have mood swings or weight issues, we normally blame it on our hormones.
What exactly are hormones? They are chemical messengers that travel through bloodstreams to send signals that trigger biological responses, controlling how organs and cells function, according to Italian skincare brand Comfort Zone, founded by the Bollati family.
The brand further explains that the intricate hormonal balance can affect our physical appearance, mental health and emotional well-being. When the hormonal balance is upset, it translates swiftly on the skin.
Understanding hormones and their effects on the skin, from teenage years to perimenopause and menopause, is a challenge for many skincare specialists.
Comfort Zone’s newest skincare, the Sublime Skin Hormonaging line was developed by a scientific committee led by Dr Davide Bollati; Dr Mariuccia Bucci, nutridermatologist; Dr Massimo Gualerzi, cardiologist and Dr Claudia Aguirre, neuroscientist and skincare expert.
This line is specially created for women in the pre-menopausal and menopausal stage – a delicate stage when hormones can take on a life of their own and could start as early as late 30s or as late as 40s.
The Sublime Skin Hormonaging line features two skincare products – the Oil Cream and the Oil Serum.
The Cell-support Technology is formulated for the products to counter extreme dryness, thinning and loss of density which are typical of menopausal skin.
Active ingredients include chicory extract that stimulates vitamin D receptors to strengthen skin barrier; biotechnological marine extract that promotes synthesis of new collagen; Abyssinian Seed Oil, shea butter and plant-based squalene from olive oil that improve hydration levels and eco-sustainable Maracuja Oil that enhances cellular regeneration to produce more collagen and elastin. –
