What are the most common symptoms for skin and hai

What are the most common symptoms for skin and hair changes during menopause? Facialist and acupuncturist @anneedemamiel explains all about hormonal acne. “Hormonal acne can stay post menopause, even if it is something you have never previously experienced. This is due to the depletion of oestrogen but androgens levels remaining the same. You want to be as gentle as you can with acne. Take care to use non-drying products, because most acne products can be drying. Acne is inflammatory so something soothing or with salicylic acid, Zinc, Vitamin A also help. If acne is persistent and painful cysts and nothing else works, maybe a trip to the dermatologist so it doesn’t get you down. You may need an androgen blocker.” Read the full interview in the #linkinbio #menopause #menopausesymptoms #menopausesupport #hormonalacne #midlifewomen #skincare #midlife

A recent poll of the MPowered community found that the vast majority of you had experienced menopause symptoms at work. Yet only 38% of you felt you had a supportive workplace. This didn’t surprise @drstephaniegoodwin. “I meet lots of women who have given up work or are thinking of giving up work. I say let’s just hang on and use some HRT because it’s usually because their symptoms are so bad. Give it three months and then review it and without exception they come back and say they feel so much better.” Dr Steph says she also meets women who are going through disciplinaries because they are not performing well because of their menopause symptoms. ‘It’s not always the employer’s fault because women are still not always comfortable about saying what the problem is.” Dr Steph advises women in this predicament to explain to their line manager or HR department what their symptoms are and the sort of impact it’s having on their life and how it’s affecting their work. And to suggest their companies organise a talk about the menopause so everyone feels more informed and comfortable. #wednesdaywisdom #menopause #perimenopause #womenshealth #womenswellness #midlife #midlifewomen

Two Bold Women today, @mariella_frostrup and @alice_smellie, co-authors of Cracking The Menopause While Keeping Yourself Together. Team MPowered is chuffed to have played a tiny part in the birth of the book. The authors attended an event that we held with @drstephaniegoodwin at @limewoodhotel, and were shocked at how unprepared the women in the room felt for their menopause years. “We witnessed, with some shock,” they write, “how badly prepared they were, how scared they were of taking HRT and, perhaps more frustratingly, how so many felt that there was some virtue in denying themselves treatment and suffering in silence.” This book addresses all of those fears - and then some. It’s a brilliant call to arms for women to stride into their midlife years and own them. Read it and feel empowered. You can also catch our co-founder Saska interviewing Mariella and Alice for @faneproductions, as one of their #FaneOnline streams. #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen #boldwoman

She’s back! @drstephaniegoodwin returns on Thurs

She’s back! @drstephaniegoodwin returns on Thursday at 6pm UK time for her monthly Midlife Health & Menopause IG Live Clinic. Dr Steph will be covering all of your most frequently asked questions around menopause health, including the facts (not fictions) about HRT and why symptoms like anxiety are such a shock to so many of us. This week, we’ll also be chatting about joint pains - frozen shoulders, achilles, creaky knees. Did you know that those are often oestrogen-deficiency related? Yep, one more symptom to add to the list. Do join us at 6pm tomorrow. As always, Dr Steph is unable to give individual advice, but if you have a general question, please post it below. See you tomorrow. #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen #wednesdaywisdom

Congratulations to one of our creative heroines, d

Congratulations to one of our creative heroines, designer Ilse Crawford CBE, who has won the prestigious London Design Medal, the top award at this year’s London Design Festival. In our fantasy life, we live in a home designed by Ilse. Everything she creates, we love. Whether it’s our favourite ever hotel, @etthemstockholm, the look and feel of the @sohohouse members’ clubs (she designed New York’s and the group’s hotel Babington House) or her sell out ranges for @ikea, Ilse has (in our humble opinion) perfect taste. We also admire Ilse’s refusal to be pigeon-holed. She was a magazine editor (@elledecorationuk) before she turned her hand to design, and as a midlifer, she keeps on reinventing. “Every 10 years you should do something different, right,” she says. A woman after our own hearts. We can’t wait to see what’s next. #boldwoman #midlifewoman #midlife #womensupportingwomen
