Improved skin after menopause

Postmenopausal women should be alert if their skin suddenly becomes better and better and vaginal bleeding occurs again. This indicates increased estrogen metabolism and elevated estrogen levels, which is likely the cause of endometrial cancer. Therefore, once the skin becomes better after menopause and is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital immediately for a reasonable and comprehensive examination to see what the cause is. At the same time, you should also pay attention to maintaining your own skin.

How to maintain good skin after menopause

1. Take good care of your diet

After menopause, the metabolic rate decreases significantly, and the dietary structure should be adjusted to ensure adequate intake of fruits and vegetables, eggs, meat and dairy products every day. Control the total calorie intake, avoid eating high-sugar, high-fat and high-salt foods, and control the daily salt intake to less than 6 grams. Replace animal fats with edible oil, pay attention to the diversification of diet, and make good combinations of meat and vegetables and size. After menopause, the ovaries shrink significantly and the secretion of estrogen decreases. You should eat more sesame, bean foods and flax seeds which are rich in estrogen.

2. Ensure adequate sleep and sun protection

After menopause, people's sleep will decrease and they will be in a light sleep state. It is important to get enough sleep every day to allow damaged cells to be repaired and maintained. Don't stay up late, keep a regular schedule, and always do a good job of sun protection. Apply sunscreen or wear long-sleeved sweaters when going out. This can block the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, prevent the loss of moisture in the skin, and achieve the effect of moisturizing and hydrating.

3. Maintain proper fitness exercise

At least 30 minutes of relaxing exercises should be done every day, such as walking, yoga, or jogging. This can promote blood circulation throughout the body and increase metabolism. It can not only make the body and mind happier, but also reduce the formation of wrinkles and allow the face to get adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. Water is an essential element for metabolism, and only by getting enough water can the body maintain normal functioning. There is enough water in the skin cells to prevent the cells from shrinking. Drinking warm water on an empty stomach every morning when you wake up can help clean out your digestive tract and remove toxins and waste. Drinking a glass of water before going to bed can prevent the blood from becoming thick.

4. Massage the skin

Taking 15 minutes a day to massage the face and neck can prevent the loss of skin elasticity, make the skin firmer and reduce the formation of wrinkles. In addition, you should choose appropriate skin care products according to your skin type and do a good job of moisturizing.

Make sure you get enough sleep every day, avoid staying up late, and be sure to remove makeup completely before going to bed to avoid excessive psychological stress. Before going to bed, you can foam your feet or listen to music to relieve physical and mental fatigue.
