Early natural skin care action 'can protect in menopause'
The menopause marks major changes in a woman's body, but an expert has said that many overlook the effect it can have on their complexion.
However, starting a natural skin care routine earlier in life can help to maintain your appearance.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, aesthetic surgeon Dr Jonquille Chantrey explained that a drop in the hormones Oestrogen and progesterone result in "accelerated skin ageing", leading to a reduction in the amount of collagen and elastin women produce, which creates sagging and deep wrinkles.
Cannes-based surgeon Herve Raspaldo added: "Starting a maintenance programme in your early 30s is the biggest investment you can make for your skin. You will look younger in your 50s and 60s, and may never need surgery."
Last week, a poll from Sheer Cover reported that as many as 40 per cent of British mums feel that they were more confident and attractive before they had children.
