Approximately one-third of menopausal women report noticeable hair and skin changes during their change of life. This can be very unsettling! During menopause, your body is experiencing change and upheaval at a dramatic rate. And these differences can be hard to combat and even harder to cope with. Not only are you experiencing dry skin, thinning hair and skin, and a myriad of other physical changes, you are not in your best emotional state to deal with these changes.

In order to understand how to deal with dry skin and hair changes during menopause, you first need to understand what causes these changes during this phase of your life. The adjustments in your skin, hair and complexion are all due to changes that are occurring inside of your body.

What happens to the hair and skin during menopause?

During menopause, when estrogen levels are decreased, hair can become dry, thin, weak and prone to breaks and spit ends, and skin can also become dry and thin. Plus skin sensations such as crawling, itching or tingling may be experienced.

How does menopause affect hair and skin?

Estrogen is involved in hair and skin health and it is required by the body to maintain moisture in the skin and hair that keeps it supple and moist. During menopause or premenopause, the drop in estrogen causes imbalances contributing to hair and skin problems and a decrease in collagen production. As the hormones diminish, they are less available to stimulate the oil glands in the skin and hair, resulting in dryness.

Natural ways to address the problem?

Addressing dry skin and hair during menopause takes a little more time and attention than during other times of your life. You should always make sure that your skin is properly moisturized and don’t wash or blow dry your hair too frequently.

Herbal and vitamin therapies can help restore skin’s moisture and suppleness and strengthen hair. Look for products that contain vitamins A, D E and Biotin. You should also look for products that are formulated specifically for hair and skin.

Be sure to humidify your home. Purchase an inexpensive humidifier and place it in your bedroom to use at night. If you do not have a humidifier, heat a pot of water on the stove every day to release moisture into the air.

Drink plenty of water. Drinking water is vital for your physical health as well as the health of your skin. So be sure to drink plenty of fluids if you are combating dry skin.

As you can see, there are ways that you can keep healthy, youthful, vibrant skin and hair throughout this change in life.  With a little extra care, menopause can be a smooth transition.

Why don’t you run and get a bottle of any of the skin moisturizers that you are currently using. You might find that your personal care products contain one or probably more of many possibly dangerous ingredients.

Here are a few of the most common suspicious ingredients:

• Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum – Petroleum products that coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatologic issues. Slows cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer. Disruptive of hormonal activity. By the way, when there’s an oil spill in the ocean, don’t they rush to clean it up – fast? Why put that stuff on your skin?
• Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
• Phenol carbolic acid– Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
• Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.
• Acrylamide– Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
• Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)– Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived”.
• Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
• Dioxane– Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin.Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.

So, do you want to put these chemicals on your skin? Hopefully not…
You’d be better served by switching to skin care products made of plant names you recognize, can pronounce, and could even eat (if you had to).

Your nails may be small, but they play an important role helping to protect your fingers and improve dexterity. They can also provide important clues about the status of your health.

Take a close look at your nails. Are they strong and healthy looking? Or do you see ridges, dents or areas of unusual color or shape? Many less than desirable nail conditions can be avoided through proper care, but some actually indicate a deficiency or illness that requires attention.

Nails have no color and are transparent. Because of the abundance of blood vessels under the skin, nails appear pink when healthy. The tissue of the nail is called the matrix and the white half-moon is at the top of this. Below the matrix is the nail bed, where the nail attaches to the finger. The skin that grows over the nail bed is the cuticle and it grows towards the tip of the nail and forms a watertight seal protecting the matrix. You should never cut away the cuticle because this increases the chance of getting a nail infection.

Massaging your cuticles with oils, such as camellia or almond, can soften the skin, which helps when pushing back the cuticle when manicuring your nails. Rosehip oil is also a good choice because it contains prostaglandin, which strengthens the nail cells and increases circulation that can stimulate growth.

Nail Problems – Signs to Look For

Brittle, discolored nails, or nails with lines may be symptoms of changes within the body. Thyroid, kidney or problems with circulation could be the cause of brittle nails.  Also, lack of certain vitamins A, omega-3 fatty acids or calcium in your diet may also be a contributing factor.

Vertical lines in your nails may be caused by a shortage of iron, while lines that are horizontal indicate stress levels are raised. Also, both of these symptoms may indicate none or little absorption of nutrients. White spots on the nail are signs of a poor diet.  Nails which peel, crack or chip easily may be caused by lack of minerals being absorbed.  A mineral supplement may help with this.

Common Nail Problems and Possible Causes

• Spoon-shaped nails – lack of iron
• Square, wide nails – hormonal imbalances
• Very thick nails – possible thyroid condition
• End of nail curves down – lack of vitamin B12

To ensure healthy nails, your diet should include plenty of fruit and vegetables.  Adding a supplement to your diet can also help restore important nutrients needed to maintain healthy nails.

How’s your hair looking these days? Full and shiny, or dull and sparse? The condition of your hair can actually tell you a few important things about your health.

Hair problems, say health experts, can be your body’s way of sending out an SOS. If you’re seeing more hair fall out in the shower these days, it could be the result of any number of health conditions including a sudden change in hormone levels, a sign of thyroid issues, a result of high fever or your body’s response to severe dieting and more.

Other factors, such as the environment, can also play a role. Air pollution, overuse of blow driers, and chemicals can cause your hair to lose its luster and the ends to split.

Here is a list of the most common hair related problems:

Dull, dry, brittle, and breaking

Hair that looks frizzy and dry is most likely is just that. We can do tremendous damage by using chemical dyes and permanents, as well as by simply blow drying our hair every morning. But in addition to being a cue that you need to treat you hair more carefully, unhealthy strands can also be an indicator of an unhealthy diet. Without adequate protein, growing hair strands won’t become as strong and resilient as they should be. And essential fatty acids (found in fish oil supplements, wild salmon, and flax seeds) may also play a role in keeping strands strong, shiny and healthy.

Turning gray

Some people start finding those wiry gray strands as early as their 20s, while others hold onto their natural color well into their 40s. The cause is unrelated to how healthy—or unhealthy—you are. Hair that goes gray is mostly genetic.  If your parents went gray early in life, most likely so will you. The change happens most quickly in Caucasians, half of whom will be at least 50 percent gray by age 50.

Dandruff

People often assume that those flakes must mean that the scalp is too dry and that, like skin that’s flaking, it must obviously need more moisture to make it look better. But while some people may indeed suffer from a dry scalp, true dandruff is not a matter of dryness.  It is the common name for seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory condition of the scalp that causes redness and flaking in the areas of the skin that are rich in oil glands. The best way to treat dandruff to seek out a medicated (not moisturizing) shampoo or scalp treatment.

Constant shedding

Seeing a swarm of strands in the shower drain every morning isn’t necessarily a cause for alarm—or a signal that anything is wrong with you. It’s totally normal to lose about 100 strands of hair every day. Your head carries at least 100,000 hair follicles, so it’s possible to collect a handful or two out of the bath or hairbrush without it visibly changing the appearance of your mane. So unless you’re starting to notice visible thinning of your hair or bald spots on your scalp, chances are the loss is nothing more than natural, everyday shed

Visibly thinning

If you have an iron or protein deficiency—common with the caloric deprivation of anyone suffering from an eating disorder—it is not unusual to experience severe hair loss. That’s because the malnutrition forces the body to conserve protein by shutting down hair growth. And since more hair may also be shed without being replaced, the result can be a noticeable thinning over several months. Thyroid conditions (both an overactive thyroid and an underactive one) can also show up as increased hair loss. Once it is controlled, hair growth can usually be restored.

Your hair can offer several clues and provides important warning signs that can indicate if you are suffering from nutritional deficiencies or a significant health problem.  If you feel you have a hair condition relating to your health, you should consult your dermatologist to identify the cause. With a blood sample a lab can determine iron, zinc, and biotin (vitamin B) levels, run a thyroid panel, check for anemia, or other causes.

Adding a supplement to your diet can also help restore important nutrients needed to maintain healthy hair.
