In this episode I chat with Amy from Amy Cox Face and Body about skincare during menopause. We discuss the changes that occur in the skin during menopause and the impact of factors like sun exposure and pollution.
We also touch on topics like adult acne, dull skin and the effectiveness of collagen supplements. And why personalised consultations and skincare routines are the way forward to address individual needs.
Key takeaways:
During menopause, the skin undergoes changes such as loss of collagen and elastin, leading to volume loss and less elasticity. Factors like sun exposure, pollution and smoking can further impact the skin's health and appearance. Skincare needs during menopause can vary, with some experiencing dryness and others experiencing increased oiliness. Consultations with skincare experts can help determine the best treatment options based on individual needs and concerns. Collagen supplements - are they worth it? What a basic skincare routine should look likeI hope you enjoy this episode, I know we certainly had a giggle recording it! I would love to hear your comments.

In this episode we're talking about something a little bit different...Luxopuncture and whether it can help relieve menopause symptoms. Ever heard of it? If not, you're not alone.
Luxopuncture is a fascinating form of infrared acupuncture that's not widely known here in the UK, and I'm super excited to talk about it with my very first guest, Anne Claydon, the founder of The LuxoPuncture Clinic in Colchester.
Anne's been doing wonders with infrared therapy, helping hundreds ease their way through perimenopause with a little-known method that's all about using light to bring relief.
In today's chat, Anne and I will explore her experience of perimenopause, how this lead her to find Luxopuncture and ultimately, find significant relief from her symptoms.
Anne is also offering listeners of this podcast an exclusive deal – one free session for every course booked. How cool is that? Details at the end.
So, if you're curious about alternative therapies or just tired of the same old advice, this episode's for you.

Hey there, welcome back to another episode of Transform Your Menopause. I've just returned from a wonderful trip to Morocco, where the laid-back pace of life hit home the importance of rest.
Just this week it was in the news about how mindfulness and therapies like CBT are easing menopause symptoms. It’s clear, I'm not alone in understanding that taking time to slow down is not just beneficial—it's essential.

I'm here to break it down into super simple, doable steps, making sure these moments don't feel like just another item on your to-do list.
