KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Menopause has a big impact on how your skin looks and, of course, hot flushes don't help 
• Estrogen helps to regulate collagen production, skin hydration, and pigmentation.
• Menopausal women need good coverage, but that does not have to mean using thick and claggy products.
• Argan oil is absorbed well without clogging your pores.
• Double cleansing improves the level of hydration you get from moisturising and conditioning products.
• It is possible to quickly calm a hot flush using a misting spray. Gia explains why the one she has developed is so effective.
• Reducing alcohol consumption has a positive impact on your skin.
• Having a good night-time regime really supports your skin. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“The menopause does affect your skin. And nobody told me that. I just thought I was getting old and haggard.”

“What happens when you go through menopause is the collagen depletes, your skin can get a lot drier, more irritable, etc.”

“Our products are brilliant with women who are going through certain symptoms of the menopause, and they can make them feel a bit more confident.”

“What's great is that the mascara is waterproof, but it's also nourishing, lifting and it's easy to remove.”

“We've got our witch-hazel water that I just sort of then double cleanse with and what that does is it gobbles up all this sort of dirt on the top of my skin.”
