As we age hormone levels change which can have an effect on your skin.

.

Perimenopause starts off in the early 40s and it's a good idea to get ahead of it with skincare, supplements and nutrition.

Incorporating vitamin C night creams is very beneficial when experiencing perimenopause. Stabilised vitamin C can only be used at night on the skin as it reacts with sunlight. Sothys detoxifying resurfacing night cream is amazing, and the closest thing to a facial in a night cream.

Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient to fight against environmental issues and helps build protection within the skin from free radicals. Our skin can't produce collagen without vitamin C so it is a must-have ingredient if you're looking to boost and safeguard collagen levels for anti-ageing.

Vitamin C can help boost your hydration long-term also, and there is a link between the drop of estrogen and the lack of skin hydration during perimenopause. Keep hydrated from the inside out, again it's important to be ahead of the symptoms and try to minimise them rather than trying to cure an issue. If you are allowing yourself to get dehydrated and are gasping for water it may lead to increased hot sweats and extreme dehydrated of the skin.

Some key ingredients to look out for when choosing the correct skincare products include:

* Green tea extract in creams may slow down the signs of ageing and reduce sagging skin and wrinkles.

* Hyaluronic acid enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture and smooth skin.

* Peptides stimulate collagen production.

* Retinol (Vitamin A) boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and plumps up your skin.
