Menopause can trigger a host of changes in women’s bodies, with one often overlooked aspect often being its impact on the skin. From dryness and sensitivity to breakouts and loss of elasticity, women experiencing menopause and perimenopause can find themselves grappling with skin issues they’ve never encountered before.

As a result, many women find themselves splurging on new skincare products in the hope of improving their complexion, only to end up with an empty purse and persistent skin troubles. But one brand has been hailed by menopausal women as a game-changer for their ‘nightmare skin’, tackling everything from blemishes to dryness. 47 Skin stands out for its patented ingredient, Silver Chitoderm®, which eliminates 99.9% of breakout-causing bacteria, calms inflammation, and supports skin recovery – all vital benefits for menopausal and perimenopausal skin.

As October marks World Menopause Awareness Month, culminating in World Menopause Day on October 18, 47 Skin is emphasising how its distinctive formula can help women feel at ease and self-assured in their skin.

Even better, customers can currently enjoy a 10% discount on several 47 Skin skincare bundles, enabling them to overhaul their skincare routine without breaking the bank. Let’s delve into three of the most favoured routines for menopausal skin, and how they can assist.

First on the list is the 2 Step Cleanse and Protect Bundle, priced at £42.75 when customers opt for a 30-day door-to-door delivery subscription. The set includes the Everyday Cleanser, designed to gently remove impurities and unclog pores, followed by the 47 Skin Serum, powered by Silver Chitoderm®, which aims to reduce spots, blemishes and hydrate skin, reports the Daily Record.

For those looking for a slightly more comprehensive routine, the 3 Step Moisture Bundle is available for £74.70 with a subscription. This package contains the Everyday Cleanser and Serum, rounded off with the Daily Moisturiser – a lightweight, oil-free solution that moisturises the skin without blocking pores.

Lastly, women seeking an extensive and luxurious skincare regimen might consider the larger 6 Step Bundle, costing £144.90 with a subscription. The routine commences with the Everyday Cleanser, followed by the Silver Mask, packed with a concentrated dose of Silver Chitoderm® for when skin requires a bit extra.

The third step involves the Super Hydrating Elixir, providing an ‘intense boost of moisture’ courtesy of its 5% Hyaluronic Acid content. This is followed by the Serum, then the Daily Moisturiser, and to complete the routine, there’s a Daily SPF 30 enhanced with Silver Chitoderm® for a lightweight, skin-nourishing solution that shields against the sun’s harmful rays.

If the 47 Skin range isn’t quite right, Boots’ No7 line offers a variety of skincare products specifically designed for menopause. The No7 Menopause Skincare Instant Radiance Serum is available in a 30ml bottle for £29.65 and promises to provide 72-hour hydration with an instant cooling applicator to soothe the skin.

Elsewhere, Tropic offers the Skin Re-Leaf Soothing Moisturiser at £30 for a 50ml bottle, which is ideal for irritated, red, and dry skin – making it potentially perfect for menopausal skin. It’s claimed to help alleviate and calm the skin while preventing further irritation and breakouts.

Users of 47 Skin have expressed their delight with the skincare range. One customer exclaimed: “This range has sorted my peri menopausal nightmare skin out. I could cry with happiness!”

Another added: “It has massively improved my menopause onset rosacea and believe me I tried everything from everywhere. It has given me some confidence back and I feel like myself again.”

One shopper took to Trustpilot to comment: “As a life-long PCOS sufferer with all skin related issues, I’m pleased that Skin 47 has, in the past four weeks, improved my skin’s texture and appearance, but it’s been slow progress.”

Someone else was less impresssed so far, saying: “I have seen some improvement but still have a long way to go.”

However, another glowing review exclaimed: “This product really has made a difference for me at a challenging stage of life and helped make me feel much more confident about my appearance.”

Women looking to improve the look and feel or menopausal or perimonopausal skin can find the skincare range online at 47 Skin.
