An easier menopause
Natural products formulated to help you energise, relax and sleep
THE menopause can be one of the most challenging times in a woman’s life — with symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings and insomnia suddenly throwing a wrench in the works of a busy routine.
Take yoga teacher Ana. She thought she was doing all the right things — plenty of exercise, no alcohol and a vegan, gluten-free diet.
Yet her night sweats and hot flushes were so severe that she often had to change her soaked bedsheets.
Her sleep was disturbed, she felt overly emotional and couldn’t trust her
decisions. Even simple things like knowing her left from her right — essential for a yoga teacher — became more challenging.
Ana’s symptoms were a catalyst for Jennifer Young, creator of a specialist skincare range for cancer patients, to turn her attention to menopause products.
She devised four menopause ranges. The first promotes sleep and contains relaxing and calming ingredients, helping to alleviate anxiety as well as to stop night sweats and flushes.
Two ‘morning’ collections are formulated to awaken and stimulate, kick-starting the day for those who have had a tough night.
And Ana’s favourite is a night-time body spritz, known for its ability to balance hormones and promote calm and relaxation.
The ‘ relaxing’ and ‘night’ collections also contain natural ingredients known to behave like oestrogen (the hormone that decreases during menopause).
These plant oestrogens such as soy and evening primrose work to manage the symptoms alongside the essential oils lavender, geranium, clary sage and rosewood. Ana is not the only one who has found these great new menopause products life-changing.
Susan found that her anxiety levels were irrationally high as a result of the menopause. ‘My skin definitely needed more attention, too.
‘I never imagined products from the night range could help reduce my anxiety as well as make me look more like myself — but they did!’
And Karen says: ‘I was looking a lot older and didn’t like it.
‘I found these fantastic products and have been amazed by their effectiveness. My skin feels incredible and I am transformed.’
