During menopause, your skin may become drier, hair thinner, and nails more brittle. For many, the change happens gradually — the reflection in the mirror just starts to look a bit different. The reason is hormonal: lower estrogen affects collagen production, skin hydration, and scalp circulation.

It’s not dangerous, but it can affect how you feel in your body. Skin loses elasticity, hair loses shine, and nails can become more fragile. The good news is that you can support your body from both inside and out. Foods rich in omega-3, protein, and vitamin C strengthen tissue, while moisturizing creams, gentle cleansers, and sun protection help the skin retain its glow.

Wash hair less often, let it rest from heat and harsh chemicals, and drink plenty of water — hydration keeps skin alive.

This isn’t losing beauty, it’s transforming it. The light changes, but it’s still yours.

Alma’s tips:

• 
  • Moisturize right after showering.
• 
  • Eat foods rich in omega-3 and vitamins.
• 
  • Let your beauty grow with softness, not effort.
