Menopause is one of those life changes that can feel like it sneaks up out of nowhere. One day, your skin is glowing and thriving, and the next, it’s dry, sensitive, or breaking out like it did in high school.

To understand this better, National Menopause Foundation Board member - Heidi Brown shares what’s happening and, more importantly, how to take care of your skin through this phase in our newest Inspiration Blog article, "Black Women, Menopause, and Skin Health: What You Need to Know". https://lnkd.in/eX98Zz3q #midlifehealth #womenshealth #sunscreen #sunprotection #skincare #blackskincare #hyperpigmentation #darkspots #moisturize #moisterizerisyourfriend #hydration #perimenopause #midlifewomen

Approximately 1.3 million women in the U.S. will enter menopause each year and 20% of?the workforce are in some phase of menopause transition, yet the word “menopause” is?rarely uttered, and seldom heard, in workplaces across the country. Often felt to be “too?personal” or “taboo,” employees and employers are simply not talking about it. There’s a 73-point gap between HR benefit managers (76%) who say they discuss menopause-related issues with employees and female employees (3%) who say they have talked about menopause with HR.
