Hi guys! This is Eva from Bay Harbour Med Spa, and today's topic is going to be how
to treat or what to do for women who are in a post or past menopause. These would be all
the women in the world that no longer have their periods. That stop menstruating. How
to treat their skin, so girls, I would be one of those and a part of being in my profession
for 36 years, but I am also a woman post, very post menopause. And I want to talk a
little bit about our skin and how to treat our skin and what to do. I have to go a little
bit back, so I have to start from the beginning and I have to clarify something. Why is there
such a difference between our skin when we go into menopause and before. Here's what
happens. When we are young, when we are in our teens and then in our twenties of course,
our skin by nature produces collagen, produces elastin, elasticity, we absorb more vitamins.
If we follow a healthy diet, that also shows in our skin. However, and pay attention to
what I am going to say. When we get to around twenty-seven twenty-eight, it is then at that
age when up to that point we were going like this. Up. And then around twenty-seven twenty
eight it sort of levels off for a year or two and then it slowly starts going this way,
and it starts going down, until it comes to the bottom to the plateau of menopause and
then it stays here. But remember, we went from here to here. So what happens, what's
the difference? Our skin does't change overnight. It's a work in progress in our body, what
actually happens is at age twenty-eight when everything stops and then starts going downwards.
That means that our body is also producing and absorbing less collagen, less elastin
and if you think about it, at twenty-seven you were perfect and you look at thirty-one
and why was it so always when I was thirty, it was like a big thing, the big three-o because
we thought, okay, thirty things start to happen and suddenly you realize that you have a wrinkle
here that you did't have and maybe something here and then thirty-five you have a wrinkle
here. Et cetera et cetera, where that's exactly what's happening it doesn't happen over night.
However. If you are smart and knowledgeable enough to understand that things don't happen
overnight and that prevention is better than correction that means that you eat well all
your life, that means that you take vitamins and minerals all of your life that means that
you know your body very well, that means that you protect yourself from the sun. And that
means that even when the fall is like this, what happens between here and here in this
space in this timeframe is not going to be drastic. And if you look at a woman, that
is, one that is never really took care of herself, never ate right. Ate a lot of American
fried food, fast food, Coca-cola, cigarettes and the sun. And never really protected herself,
but sunbathed and got a lot of color. And you look at her at age fifty or fifty-five,
she will be really...her skin will be bad looking her skin will be wrinkely, her skin
will be bad looking, her skin with be leathery, her skin will be ashey looking, her skin will
not be pretty. Why, because she didn't take care of it. And then correcting what is there
is very, very hard. But if you fall into that category of what I just mentioned, and you
do the best that you can and you understand, and my generation of people already understand
that going to the sun, you go limitedly and if you go you some protection on, and that
eating less red meat is great and eating healthy and taking vitamins and eating a lot of vegetables
and foods and walking, even not exercising crazy but walking, getting some exercise.
Getting oxygen to the skin, and going for facials and moisturizing your skin and protecting
your skin. Then if you did all that then the downfall will be much less however it will
be. And once you lose your period. The only good thing is when you go into menopause,
you don't have to worry about periods cause that's over with. Thank God! That's over with.
But you have to worry about others things, and then, sort of, so. Even though if it wasn't
that drastically in twenty-five years, then it goes down and then it sits at a plateau.
And from here, from that bottom plateau, once you are a year two or three after menopause,
not very much can change. If you were one that protected yourself and that did the right
thing and you're doing the right thing, the only thing to do a little bit more when you
get post menopause. You have to take more supplements you have to take a lot of antioxidants,
you have to take much more antioxidants internally, because we are talking about oxidation, we
are talking about aging, we are talking...and oxidation is actually so very bad for us.
That's what gives us the age spots and discoloration spots and what have you and it's also bad
in our internal organs, so antioxidants, you double and triple on them once you go for
post menopause. Omega Three Fish Oil. For instance, Crea Oil is wonderful. Anything
that will help to moisture you internal organs, you internal parts, soothe and be an anti
inflammatory is very good because remember another thing that happens post menopause
cause everything sort of goes down not only the skin but unfortunately, our bones, our
structure, everything changes. Pains and aches, inflammation, arthritis all the things come
with the territory so if you take a lot of good supplements, if you educate yourself
about anti-oxidants about Omega-3 and you eat healthy you again. My personal recommendation
is, eat gluten-free. Eat a lot of vegetables. Double or triple on vegetables and fruits.
Drink juices. Eat blueberries. Eat apples. Stay away from refined sugars. All of that
together will help to prevent a faster deterioration and a faster aging process post menopause.
And as you notice, I wasn't talking about a cream first, I was talking about the internal
because I believe girls and guys too. I believe that our external is the picture of our internal.
And remember, the external is the end result. So when it's internally good and the outside
will be good. And if you are smart enough to know that you have to protect yourself
from the environment. And from UV and from the sun. And love yourself. And love your
body and do good things for yourself. Then you will have this decline from here less
visible to yourself and you will be able to protect yourself. And look, years younger
than your peers. Who don't take care of themselves. But everything starts internal. It's from
in out and then it's the outside. So now, talking about the outside. Now that we covered,
I told you what in my opinion was the first thing. On the outside. So what should you
use. Okay, the first thing. Never go to bed with makeup. Doesn't matter how tired you
are. Don't go to bed with makeup. Use a light cleanser. Like for instance, this is a lavender
rose foaming cleanser. So you take a little bit and wash your makeup off in the evening
with a cleanser. Then you tone, with a rose toner, you want to have something that invigorates
the skin, why do you want a toner a cleanser. It's because toner balances the PH of your
skin. So it shouldn't be up, it shouldn't be down. For the night, I always recommend
people to use an amazing serum or to use an amazing aromatherapy oil. On the skin as the
base. After you cleanse and tone put serum on your skin. And then, you can put a night
cream, a night cream and an eye cream. On top of the serum. Why do I recommend that
you do at night. I will tell you why. When you go to sleep and you relax and you lie
down and you go to sleep everything slows down. Everything relaxes. And remember, the
skin does breathe, our skin is porous. So we absorb oxygen through our skin. So the
skin absorbs the oxygen that we have but it also really absorbs the nutrients that you
feed it when it goes asleep. So this is what I would recommend to do at night and then
in the morning, okay, you get up, wash your face with water. You don't even have to use
a cleanser. Just wipe after with is a toner, put a great moisturizer, the eye cream around
your eyes, and then mineral makeup. Mineral makeup. Why I say mineral makeup, I tell you
guys, because I use it. I make it. But that's not why I'm telling you. It's because mineral
makeup, if it's done correctly, and if it's a great mineral makeup, is made out of one
hundred percent zinc oxide and dioxide and no chemicals. There's no talcum powder, and
no fillers. What does zinc do for the skin? Zinc is a natural sun block, why is it a natural
sun block, because it deflects the ultra violet rays away from it, so that's number one. Numero
Uno. Number two: when you put mineral makeup on your skin it's very light, it's like sheer,
you can't even see it. I have it. You know you come as close as you want, I don't even
see that I have it on. I don't even see that I have it on because it's very fine. It's
sort of is like silk. You put it on your face. It evens the skin tone of your skin. It smoothes
the look of your skin. It absorbes any external oils. It protects you from the environment.
And it protects you from the sun, so it's a win-win situation. So in my opinion, like
American Express say don't leave house without it without American Express. I tell you don't
leave your house without putting mineral makeup on your skin. So that's my suggestion. If
you have more questions, guys, you can always email me and ask me. Until next time. Thank
you. Ciao, all my friends out there. Bye-Bye. Eva.
