WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY
Earlier this year I added Vanessa Megan, a certified organic skin care range that actually works.
With over 10 years in the industry, the past 24 months Vanessa Megan has been working on a range of skin care specifically designed for peri, post and menopausal women.
Wednesday 18th October is World Menopause day. What does this mean for women? Apart from the obvious, it is a woman’s passageway into her 3rd stage of life. A time for rest, restoration and reflectiveness.
As we enter this 3rd stage, we want to ensure we are doing all the things to help us live our best possible life. Staying connected, eating well, exercising and of course looking after our largest organ…our skin.
During menopause the skin can become sensitive and brittle.
As estrogen levels decrease, melanin levels increase leading to hyperpigmentation (age spots).
Oil glands aren’t as active and skin becomes dry and thin. Collagen and elastin production slows down leading to sagging skin and wrinkles.
All sounds very depressing doesn’t it? Well it doesn’t have to be.
Thanks to METAMORPHOSIS, Vanessa Megan has created a range that supports our skin during this time.
We might not be feeling ourselves but our skin doesn’t need to suffer.
Ingredients such as phytoestrogens, L-Arginine and Bakuchiol (nature’s very own alternative to retinol) help to tighten sagging skin, boost collagen synthesis, support elasticity and deeply hydrate and moisturise the skin.
This range is not just treating the face, there is also a range for the neck and decolletage, body and “the other lips”
We proudly introduce METAMORPHOSIS™ Skincare
Australia’s First
Targeted Menopausal Skincare Range
Sitting at the Apex of 21st Century Naturaceuticals, Metamorphosis™ is a cutting-edge range of functional and effective skin care, targeting peri to postmenopausal skin.
As collagen diminishes, our skin loses firmness and begins to sag. Jowls appear as do age spots. Wrinkles that used to appear only with a smile or frown become visible all the time. Hormonal changes can result in extremely dry and sensitive skin – everywhere. These hormonal shifts can make us break out in hot flushes and night sweats without warning.
With these unannounced changes in motion and as we transform into our best selves. We have developed a range of targeted, solution-based skincare products, using ingredients that are known to help support deep moisture cohesion, environmental barriers, antioxidants, natural retinoids and skin-brightening properties so that you will notice the difference in your skin immediately after your first use.

Research & Testing
After 24 months of research and development, we trialled the Metamorphosis™ range with groups of women aged between 40 – 72 over a period of 3 months.
These are the results:
- 99% saw an increase in plumpness
- 72% saw a reduction in pore size
- 98% saw a reduction in fine lines
- 89% saw an increase in skin elasticity
- 99% had someone comment positively on their skin
- 96% saw a reduction in age spots
- 77% saw a reduction in pigmentation
- 89% had vaginal dryness relief
- 75% saw a reduction in breakouts
- 99% saw a reduction in crepey skin
- 33% saw a reduction in fine & dark facial hair
- 86% saw a reduction of lines around the upper lip area
- 99% saw an increase in hydration
- 99% saw a more even skin tone
METAMORPHOSIS™
As hormone levels plummet during menopause, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Skin loses it’s ability to hold water, so it can get extremely dry and dehydrated. We have created the Metamorphosis™ facial to help stimulate fibroblast cells to produce new collagen within the connective tissue. Massaging the face stimulates the fibroblasts which get back to work to produce collagen. This stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid content, which results in plump, dewy, youthful looking skin. Application of phytoestrogen and ceramide rich ingredients with this massage offers higher performance and visible results due to dermal absorption. Fibroblasts are responsible for forming connective tissue and secreting collagen protein to maintain the structural stability of your skin. If fibroblasts are not stimulated they can become stagnant and won’t function as optimally as they could.
Active dermal absorption and waking up the fibroblasts are the keys to maintaining plump, youthful and radiant skin during menopause. Our Metamorphosis™ products along with our proprietary developed fascia sculpting lymphatic buccal massage, offers a vital solution to treat menopausal skin.
This facial increases the circulation and blood flow, helps to deliver oxygen and nutrient rich ingredients beneath to the skin to aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is effective for those wanting to soften facial expression lines, re-contour and smooth features to assist in achieving plump, youthful and radiant skin.
INGREDIENTS LIST
Resveratrol – [Phyto-estrogen] Resveratrol can have a two-fold effect, both neutralizing free radicals and boosting antioxidant levels, so your skin can better defend and repair itself. Studies show that applying resveratrol significantly improved fine lines, wrinkles, and elasticity in 12 weeks.
Rice peptides – They help reduce UV damage, lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dead skin cells, and increase skin ceramide production. Rice peptides can also increase collagen synthesis and lighten skin.
Pea Peptide – This peptide is made up of one of the most complete amino acid profiles of any vegetable protein. It comprises consisting of 22 amino acids, most noticeably lysine – one of the most potent building blocks in the human body. When applied topically, snow pea peptides can help improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost collagen production.
Soy Peptides – Soy peptides stimulate fibroblast proliferation and increase collagen and elastin synthesis. This results in firmer-looking skin. They can also can help to lighten hyperpigmentation and act as an anti- irritant, reducing inflammation.Contain amino acids which are essential for the formation of collagen.
Rambutan – Along with bakuchiol Rambutan is said to be one of the very best retinol substitutes. It doesn’t cause the dryness, redness and flakiness that retinol often does, but it still delivers the age-defying benefits.
Bakuchiol – Bakuchiol stimulates skin cell turnover, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin tone and texture. It is also an antioxidant, meaning it can provide some protection from free-radical damage. Because it tends to gentler on the skin than other anti-aging ingredients (like retinol), bakuchiol can be used every day, and in fact, when used twice a day, bakuchiol has been studied and shown to be just as effective as retinol.
Wild Yam – [Phyto-estrogen] Wild Yam is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which protect the skin
from damage caused by free radicals. Helps reduce sagging skin and hyperpigmentation.
Bearberry Extract – Bearberry extract is a natural skin brightener that’ll help us attain a more uniform and
brighter complexion. It slowly evens out skin tone by eliminating age spots, acne scars, freckles, and melasma.
L-Arginine – has been found to be important in the synthesis of collagen. It has also been found to be
necessary in stimulating protein synthesis and in speeding up the regenerative processes of the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid – Makes your skin flexible. Hyaluronic acid helps skin stretch and flex and reduces skin
wrinkles and lines by plumping skin with moisture to create more volume to the skin.
Soybean Protein – [Phyto-estrogen] Soy Protein is an important basic ingredient around which functional
skin and hair care products can be built. Ideal for sensitive skin types; the Soya Protein is an excellent choice
for protecting against oxidative stress, skin imbalance and premature ageing. It is vital in epidermal healing,
helps plump and firm ageing skin and fights hyperpigmentation.
Red clover – [Phyto-estrogen] red clover is particularly concentrated in plant estrogen, also known as
isoflavones, which improves the skin in numerous ways, including by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen
production system, increasing the skin’s thickness, and improving the skin’s moisture levels.
Lactic Acid – Lactic acid is a type of AHA present in many exfoliating skin care products. It removes the top
layer of the dead skin cells and can help improve skin texture, reduce dark spots, smooth fine lines, and
cleanse pores.
Essential Oils – [Phyto-estrogen] Essential oils are plant-based, and some contain phytoestrogens. Some
experts believe that essential oils containing phytoestrogens may help balance hormones and relieve
symptoms such as mood changes and hot flashes during menopause.
