World Menopause Day on 18 October 2023

Ahead of World Menopause Day on 18 October 2023, research undertaken by global Professional Skincare brand Environ has found that despite experiencing significant changes to skin during menopausal phases, 66% of women have not sought out professional skincare advice or treatments to assist with skin concerns.

With the number of menopausal women worldwide estimated to reach 1.1 billion by 2025, Environ’s Consumer Study was conducted to gather insights that would enable the Brand to make a meaningful contribution towards supporting women in their well-being and promoting age-inclusive beauty. A group of over 800 female respondents between the ages of 45 and 59 years old, were surveyed to expose the human truths behind the physical effects of menopause on the skin. The results revealed much about key skincare concerns, and that women experiencing this remarkable stage of life continue to carry the burden of societal stigma and miscommunication. Furthermore, that menopause is something that is quietly suffered alone, or overmedicalised and managed simply with hormone replacement therapy.
