A Step-by-Step Alyval Intimate Menopause Routine

What happens during Menopause?

Menopause brings about a range of symptoms that stem from declining estrogen and progesterone levels. You might experience changes in your menstrual cycle, physical discomfort, and shifts in your emotional well-being.

Menstrual Changes

Irregular periods: Your periods might shift in flow—becoming lighter or heavier—and their frequency could change, happening more or less often, before they eventually stop altogether.

Physical Symptoms

• Hot flushes: Sudden, brief waves of warmth typically experienced in the face, neck, and chest area, frequently accompanied by perspiration and skin redness.

• Night sweats: Episodes of hot flushes that happen during sleep.

• Sleep problems: Difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep (insomnia), which may result in tiredness during the day.

• Vaginal and urinary changes: Dryness, itching, or burning feelings in or near the vagina, discomfort during intercourse, and increased occurrences of urinary tract infections (UTIs) or trouble controlling your bladder.

• Aches and pains: Stiffness in joints, soreness in muscles, and an increased chance of bone weakness (osteoporosis).

• Skin and hair: Skin that feels dry, hair that becomes thinner, or more noticeable facial hair growth.

• Other signs: Heart palpitations (feeling your heartbeat or it racing), migraines or headaches, and reduced sexual desire (libido)

Intimate care deserves the same attention 

Most women maintain a skincare routine. Taking care of our skin has become a key part of how we approach ageing, health, and living longer. But when it comes to looking after our vaginal and vulvar health, that same level of attention is often overlooked.

Declining estrogen levels during menopause reduce collagen, moisture, and elasticity, affecting both facial and intimate skin.

As estrogen levels diminish during menopause, vulvar and vaginal tissues become thinner, drier, and more sensitive, meaning intimate health requires the same gentle, barrier-supporting care as facial skin.
