The Effects of Menopause on Your Skin: How Bath Salts Can Help
Most people know some of the common symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, brain fog and difficulty sleeping, but did you know that the menopause can also affect your skin? Due to the rapid changes in hormones that women go through during menopause, there are many areas of a woman’s health that this affects, including drying out your skin.
At Westlab we’re dedicated to improving the health of your skin through our bath and shower products. Our 100% natural mineral bath salts can help revitalise your skin as you go through the challenges of menopause.
In this blog post we will be showing you how our Dead Sea range can help with the effects on menopause on your skin.
Tackle dry skin
Dry skin is a common effect of menopause. If you’ve noticed your skin becoming more dry in places, don’t worry, as there are things you can do to help solve this problem. One way to relieve dry skin is through bathing with mineral bath salts. Our Dead Sea bath salts are incredible at nourishing your skin with essential skin minerals, and protecting its natural barrier, which is effective at tackling dry or dehydrated skin.
To use our Dead Sea bath salts, all you have to do is run yourself a warm bath and pour 2-4 cups of Dead Sea salt into it. You can also add nourishing bath oils or gentle bubble baths., but be sure to avoid anything with SLS/SLES in the ingredients as this can dry out your skin and undo the benefits of the skin-nourishing products. Then simply relax and unwind as you soak in your bath whilst giving your whole body a fully hydrating treatment.
Menopause can worsen skin conditions such as sensitivity, eczema and psoriasis
Due to a decrease in oestrogen levels, the increased dryness of your skin can worsen skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Plus the hot flushes can increase skin sensitivity and redness. If you’re experiencing increased sensitivity or a flare-ups in your eczema or psoriasis due to menopause, we know a way that can help.
Our Dead Sea bath salts are designed to soothe itchy and irritated skin, relieving you of your uncomfortable symptoms. Try adding 2-4 cups of Dead Sea bath salt into your bath and do this once to twice a week. You may notice a significant difference in how your skin feels after doing this for some time.
After bathing, use a gentle, natural sensitive skin moisturiser to lock in the moisture to your skin, hydrating it further. This should help to hydrate your skin and combat the dryness from menopause.
