Cold, winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin, a problem made worse during perimenopause when declining estrogen levels slow the production of skin-plumping collagen and natural body oils. Happily, our Beauty Team has uncovered body moisturizers that not only help to hydrate, tighten, and soothe perimenopausal skin, but as an added bonus, many of these brands are created by women, blacked-owned, and menopause-minded. Let’s take a look!
