What Causes Oily Skin And Redness On Face Along With Eye Puffiness Post Menopause?
Good morning doctor. I am 59 years old. I have had oily face in my entire life until my menstruation stopped at the age of 56-57. There were still few spotting noted as of 2014. I ve looked after of my skin well. I have olive complexion and brown skin. I have noticed that little redness comes and goes, a bit of puffiness under the eye area and can feel of tingly sensation especially applying the aloe vera based eye cream. I have been eating healthy, walking 2 & 1/2 hours 2-3x/week. I used to be a runner. Doing pilates program using machine at home; I used to enrol for 3-6 years in pilates program with extensive physiotherapy supervision. In other words, I am very much mobile for my age. Are there any other things that I need to be aware to change my lifestyle ? Thank you very much indeed Belinda
Falling estrogen affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands. Adrenals control the hormones that deal with water balance. Menopause can cause water retention and can cause puffy eyes. Postmenopausal women are also prone to dry eyes due to reduced tear production. Avoid dehydration,promote blood and lymphatic circulation by physical cavity, sleep adequately, have a healthy diet and also reduce your salt intake.
