Menopause can be a stressful period for many women, partially due to hormonal changes and symptoms like hot flushes, disturbed sleep and mood swings. The drop in oestrogen levels makes it difficult to regulate cortisol levels as effectively as before, causing everyday stress to be experienced more readily. This drop in oestrogen also affects the skin, with dryness, dullness and sensitivity being some of the most common skin symptoms reported by menopausal women.
Skin is an outer reflection of our overall inner health & wellbeing and therefore it can reflect how well you are coping with the many challenging changes of the menopause.
To better support women along their menopause journey, No7 has partnered with Clementine, an innovative cognitive hypnotherapy app, hailed as one of “the seven apps every woman should own”. Clementine’s mission ‘to create a world where every woman believes she can do anything she puts her mind to’ perfectly aligns with No7’s philosophy.
Together No7 and Clementine have created six ‘mind-skin rituals’ – free daily rituals that combine the sensory power of skincare application with the power of cognitive hypnotherapy to support menopausal women deal with the most common concerns. The rituals that we have designed are:
- Get to sleep ritual, for preparing to sleep
- Back to sleep ritual, for those disrupted nights
- Confidence ritual, for increasing confidence
- Calming ritual, for a moment of calm
- Clarity ritual, for when you need focus
- Cooling ritual, for cooling down
