Health guidance for managing menopause symptoms and skincare

Health experts are providing guidance on managing physical changes during menopause and perimenopause, specifically regarding nutrition and skincare.

Regarding dietary supplements, mulberry leaf tea has gained popularity for its potential to alleviate hot flashes. While the leaves contain bioactive compounds and antioxidants that may assist with oxidative stress, nutrition experts warn that the tea is not a substitute for professional medical treatment. Claims that the tea can regulate hormones or replace menopause treatments should be viewed with caution, as individual responses vary.

Dermatologists also advise on managing skin and hair changes, such as increased dryness and loss of collagen, which can occur due to declining estrogen levels. Common mistakes to avoid include using aggressive soaps that strip moisture, treating skin as if it were still oily, and blindly following social media skincare trends. Experts recommend using gentle products and adapting routines to the skin's changing needs.
