Nurturing Your Skin. Embracing Your Power.

Our bodies have a wisdom all their own—they insist on completeness. Menopause is not just an ending; it’s the ultimate initiation into a more powerful, authentic version of ourselves. On the other side— an awakening—one where we find our own voice, our courage to speak our truth, and a profound sense of self. This chapter of life is not a closing but an opening, an energetic shift that allows us to claim our wholeness— without apology.
Throughout our lives, our skin is a mirror of our journey, constantly evolving in response to hormonal and environmental changes. But during menopause, those changes become undeniable. The decline in estrogen levels ushers in some of the most significant transformations our skin will ever face—an experience shared by so many of us.
What Happens to the Skin During Menopause?
Estrogen is a vital thread in the fabric of our skin and hair. Its decline during menopause can leave its mark in ways that feel startling at first. Skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic. Wrinkles seem to deepen. Collagen production slows, and cell turnover grinds down. Pigmentation can increase, and our once-resilient skin feels more sensitive, sometimes even fragile. These changes don’t just affect how we look—they can also affect how we feel about ourselves.
Caring for Skin in Peri-Menopause, Menopause and Beyond
The beauty of this phase is that there are ways to nurture and support our skin, just as we nurture and support our shifting identities. I have crafted skincare solutions specifically designed for peri-menopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal women to address the unique challenges of this transformative time. My products focus on delivering deep hydration and improving moisture retention, calming sensitivity with soothing botanicals, boosting collagen production for enhanced firmness and elasticity, encouraging gentle exfoliation to promote cell turnover, and brightening pigmentation to create a more even complexion.
The Journey of Discovering Yourself
What so many of us don’t realize is that peri-menopause can begin as early as our late 30s. For me, the deeper transformation began when I turned 50. It’s in this new chapter that I’ve discovered something astonishing: menopause is a homecoming. It’s the time when we come fully, unapologetically, into who we are meant to be. It’s where we reap the wisdom of experience, having weathered insecurity, doubt, and life’s inevitable ups and downs. We stand firmly on the ground we’ve built for ourselves, anchored in our truth and ready for whatever comes next.
When we embrace these changes, menopause can become one of the greatest awakenings of our lives. It brings us closer to our power, grounding us more deeply in our purpose. I’s a reclamation of everything we are and everything we are still becoming.
In recognition of this transformative phase, I created a seasonal launch— Luminous Luna Mist, a cooling and nurturing product designed specifically for peri-menopause, menopause, and beyond. The name Luna symbolizes the moon—representing the cyclical nature of our lives and the profound phase of menopause, where wisdom, intuition, and femininity are at their peak.
This hydrator features carefully chosen ingredients to soothe and replenish your skin:
Cucumber: Known for its cooling and hydrating properties, it calms irritated, sensitive skin.
Aloe: Provides deep hydration and supports healing, making it perfect for dryness and inflammation.
House-made Witch Hazel Extract: Rich in antioxidants and natural astringents, helps support collagen production, soothe mature skin, and improve elasticity for a firmer, more radiant complexion.
Comfrey: A rich source of allantoin, comfrey helps promote skin repair and regeneration.
Vanilla and Tonka Bean: These add a soft, comforting aroma while providing antioxidant benefits to protect and nourish your skin.
The Luminous Luna Mist is more than just skincare—it’s a ritual to honor and care for yourself during this sacred and powerful phase of life.
