Menopause skincare and supplements: genuinely helpful, or one big marketing scam? 👀🔥
It’s Menopause Awareness Month, and I’m spilling the tea on a topic that might ruffle a few feathers… ☕️
➡️ Are products marketed specifically towards menopausal women actually doing anything? Or are we just paying extra for the word MENOPAUSE on the packaging? 🫢
Here’s my issue.
Menopause can bring significant changes to our skin, bodies and overall wellbeing. And for many women, navigating those changes can be frustrating, confusing and overwhelming.
➡️ Which makes women a particularly attractive target for clever marketing.
When you’re desperately searching for answers, a product promising to address your menopausal needs can sound incredibly appealing.
➡️ But here’s the thing…
Just because something says MENOPAUSE on the label doesn’t mean it’s going to address your actual concerns.
And quite frankly, I think some of the marketing surrounding these products is questionable at best 👀
Now, that’s not to say skincare and supplements can’t be beneficial. Of course they can, when appropriately selected and supported by evidence 👏🙏
➡️ But your skin doesn’t need a menopause label. It needs the right ingredients for your individual concerns.
We need to stop treating menopause as a marketing opportunity and start treating women as individuals who deserve proper answers 👏
➡️ That’s something I feel incredibly strongly about.
My goal with Wedgwood Medical is to build a community where we can have honest conversations, challenge misinformation and help women make more informed decisions about their skin, health and wellbeing.
Less marketing hype ❌
More evidence ✅ More honesty ✅
Throughout Menopause Awareness Month, I’ll be sharing more education, advice and thoughts on navigating this stage of life.
And if you need personalised skincare advice, I’m always happy to help or point you towards reliable resources and appropriate specialists.
But for now, I want to hear YOUR thoughts! 👇
Are menopause skincare and supplements genuinely helpful, or has the industry found another way to capita
