A new survey sponsored by Vichy Laboratories shows that the majority of women face skin care challenges at menopause. The survey involved 686 women over the age of 50:
- 82 percent reported changes in the appearance of their skin, including increased dryness, increased wrinkles and a sagging neck once they entered menopause
- 53 percent reported that the most common issue they faced after entering menopause was dry skin, followed closely by an increase in wrinkles and a sagging neck
- 67 percent reported that entering menopause caused them to change their beauty routine by purchasing new skincare and color cosmetic products to address these issues.
Who did responders single out as the celebrity who best personifies “50 + Fabulous”? Meryl Streep was singled out by 46% of responders. Kathie Lee Gifford took the first runner-up spot, followed by other Hollywood stars: Sigourney Weaver, Madonna, Helen Mirren and Kim Cattrall.
