Menopausal? Switch to products made for Dry Skin

I love reading and learning something new everyday. Finding the time is not always so easy (have a couple months of Prevention Magazine to catch up on). But this article caught my attention because it described me, I used to have OILY, ACNE ridden skin - a constant battle
it's from mbglifestyle: Switch to products made for dry skin. So now that we know just how dramatic these changes are, you can understand why making key shifts in your skin care routine is essential. Given the barrier function is weakened, as well as the skin producing less oil in general, switching to heavier, more moisturizing products will be ideal for most. "The result is that the skin becomes more dry, sensitive, and vulnerable to irritation, inflammation, and rashes," she says. See, one of the main duties of your skin barrier is to keep water and nutrients in—when weakened, it's not as able to do this job: "Because the skin loses some ability to retain moisture, the skin can get pretty dry, especially when there is low humidity. So washing with a gentle cleanser instead of soap—and avoiding aggressive exfoliation or scrubs that could tear or irritate the skin—especially on the face. Applying a moisturizer after washing and while the skin is still damp as well as throughout the day when your skin feels dry. A moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or glycerin can be especially helpful." I'm over 60 and have the most beautiful skin of my life, that's saying a lot, but I've been using the Jordan Essential Dry Skin Care System
