Unlocking Timeless Beauty: Nurturing Your Natural Radiance Through Perimenopause & Beyond..
Always prioritise hydrating products to combat the reduced moisture retention common in menopause. Opt for products that contain hyaluronic acid, bonus points if it's 'Triple molecular weighted' hyaluronic acid. (See product suggestion)
Collagen naturally degrades as we age, usually declining at a rate of 1% per year after the age of 30! Make sure to add in products with peptides to stimulate collagen production, which will promote skin elasticity and preserve that youthful complexion. (See product suggestion)
Look, I understand that Retinol is an extremely well-studied and effective treatment for skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles. But, from my experience, it can be very harsh on sensitive and aging skin. Now, bio-retinol, like this one from Nyrah Beauty, is a natural alternative to retinol made from plant extracts that can produce all the same benefits of Retinol, without the nasty side-effects. That's a winner for me!
Geting out in the sun is great for the mind, body & soul. But, because we spend so much time inside in our modern lifestyles, it's become more necessary than ever to protect against harmful UV Rays. Opt for a 'broad-spectrum' sunscreen, while fragrance-free is more suitable for sensitive skin. Dermatologists often recommend SPF 30 or higher for effective protection.
There has been a rise in the one-size fits all skincare routine in the industry in recent times, and while I'm a strong advocate for multi-purpose, multi-beneficial products, you really need to trial different ingredients to see what works for your skin. Your skin is your largest organ and just like our bodies, it's very individual.
Speaking of trialing skincare products, there's a risk-free offer below for those of you that are interested - Stay Reading..
As a skincare business owner, and more importantly, a women in her 40's, I'm conscious of the affects that menopausal skin changes can have on a women's mental & in turn, physical well-being. I'm also glaringly in tune with a women's desire to reverse all of these changes by any means necessary.
I've personally tried everything, (tell me if any of these sound familiar), from splashing cold water on my face to invigorate and tighten skin, using tools like gua sha stones or jade rollers to get rid of puffiness, switching to a silk pillowcase to reduce friction overnight and banish wrinkles, covering my face in coconut oil to 'cleanse' the skin.. even slapping together an at-home DIY face mask full of avocados, yoghurt and honey to improve hydration (also doesn't taste too bad by the way!).
If you haven't tried or heard of any of these methods, you're one of the lucky ones that hasn't fallen down the self-care rabbit hole that so many of us women have. And if you were daring enough to cover your face in coconut oil and risk blocking the bathroom sink washing it off, then welcome to the club!
From experience, generally, what drives us women to want to try the next skincare 'hack' or 'trick' in an attempt to restore our youthful complexion is, not just our insecurities, but a lack of suitable options available to help us address the most common skin concerns that we experience as our skin matures through peri-menopuase, menopause and beyond..
Over the course of our lives, we spend THOUSANDS on a wide variety of skincare products from scores of different brands from all over the world based on our friends/families recommendations, only to find that the products were ineffective or simply just did not react well with your skin - leading to you having a press FULL of expensive skincare products that you'll NEVER use again. The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way in 2024...

Just to introduce myself, my name is Lorraine Corcoran and I'm a co-founder of Nyrah Beauty Cosmetics. As a research and developer with 26 years of experience, I like to think I've gained a unique insight into exactly how to formulate, blend and create skincare products that help women harness their natural beauty as they age, without having to hide and cover themselves up with makeup. I've always said: “I see myself as an engineer first, a business leader second, and ultimately, a problem-solver with a mission to contribute to women's well-being. ”
As we age, our skin is no longer the blank canvas that it used to be. There's lumps and bumps, fine lines and wrinkles.. and to be honest, I think they're our most beautiful features. Our marks are a sign of skin that has stood the test of time and that's why 'embracing aging gracefully' is at the heart of everything we do at Nyrah.
We've created a line of Irish products here in Co. Mayo that help women to cleanse, nourish, rejuvenate and most importantly, enhance the beautiful features they already possess. Our goal is to encourage women to love themselves from the inside out, instilling confidence and self-love by simplifying self-care and demystifying the truth behind effective pre, mid and post menopausal skincare.
