When you start witnessing skin changes like wrinkles and sagging skin, you can point the finger at menopause and rapidly decreasing estrogen levels. Estrogen helps you retain water and skin plumpness. When levels drop, you lose molecules that help you retain moisture.

Our bodies also produce less collagen causing our skin to lose elasticity. It all begins in our fourth decade when we reach perimenopause and then continues through menopause. In this guide to menopause skincare, Better Not Younger discusses what's happening to your skin and scalp and provides ways of solving those challenges.

Collagen is vital for a smooth face and healthy scalp. Restore lost collagen by eating a well-rounded diet, massaging your skin, and taking supplements.

Many people make the connection between washing their hair and losing their hair. After all, most of us have witnessed the clumps gathered in the shower drain after shampooing. But, if washing with a specific frequency can cause us to shed our hair, what happens when we do the opposite?

Factors like activity level, texture, age and hair type determine how often we should be washing our hair. If you don’t go too long between shampoos, you likely won’t experience much hair loss beyond regular shedding. Using dry shampoo on off days supports scalp health and hydration.

In the past, hair care has focused mainly on our hair. Though today, most of us understand that a vibrant mane begins with a healthy scalp. It needs skincare like your face, neck and arms because, well, it's skin! 

When your scalp is overloaded with product buildup and dead skin cells, it is more difficult for your follicles to function and thrive the way they should. 

The best way to treat your aging skin to the care it deserves is by using a cleansing product containing activated charcoal. 

We all have a superpower—that one special strength or skill that makes us pretty darn special. Well, now your hair’s got one too! It’s Better Not Younger’s Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum. And if you haven’t already tried it, remember today as the day you decided to do something truly amazing for your hair. 

Using an applicator is crucial to achieving the best results from your hair and scalp serum. 

Serums work wonders to fortify your hair and nourish your scalp. Some formulations even contain ingredients shown to restore follicle function. Yet, many women overlook the importance of using a serum applicator.

Better Not Younger offers two applicators for its Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum that can deliver the correct serum dosage exactly where you want it, ensuring optimal results.

Many of us believe that we have to wash our hair after every workout. The truth is, how often you wash your locks has a lot to do with your hair texture, type and your own preference. 

Many beauty experts say that it’s okay to skip your hair washing after a workout. Rinsing with water may be enough. In addition to saving time, skipping your post-workout hair washing every once in a while can actually be beneficial for your scalp health.

Scrubbing too often could disrupt your scalp’s pH and cause dryness, which could lead to uncomfortable flakes and itchiness. Conversely, you don’t want to skip too many shampoos — because, besides smelling, you may encounter scalp buildup, which can block new hair growth and cause other issues. 

Your hair and scalp go through menopause-related physiological changes similar to the rest of your body. Your hair may undergo decreased elasticity, protein loss and torn cuticle cells. An abundance of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormones can attack and destroy your hair follicles. The list seems like it goes on and on. Yet, many of our hair and scalp challenges stem from a lack of nutrients reaching our follicles. You can alleviate many of these issues by coupling a daily scalp massage with a restorative serum packed with highly nutritious ingredients. 

Now that spring is in the air, it’s time to strip off your winter coat, toss your hat to the back of the closet, and shake your hair out under the sun’s glorious rays. Spring brings rebirth and growth in nature, so it’s the perfect time to refresh your tresses and debut a new you! Cut it, color it, focus on your hair’s health—whatever ‘refresh’ means to you. If you’re struggling with how to start transitioning your hair-care routine from winter to spring, we’ve done the work for you. Keep reading to learn which products are a must-have for the new season and how to put your healthiest hair forward.

Hair masks are the ultra-moisturizing treatments that many women rely on to remedy their dry, brittle hair. And since our scalp's natural oil production slows with age-related hormonal changes, getting adequate moisture is never more essential than it is during and after menopause.
