I know, I know! Who has time for a serum? But I’m telling you, a good face serum can be a miracle worker. Why? As women approach menopause, they can lose up to a third of their collagen. When you lose collagen, your skin loses its bounce-back, moisture and glow. And to make matters worse, you might also experience more inflammation than you did in the past--which means your skin becomes more vulnerable to damage from sun, smoke, and pollution.
So when you’re looking for a face serum, get one that uses plant compounds like soy, genistein, grape seed, green tea, and wild yam. Plant compounds prevent sagging by mimicking estrogen. Your body uses the estrogen to build collagen, which restores younger-looking skin.
