Dry and Itchy Skin Over 50? Here's What You Need to Know!

Dry and itchy skin can be difficult to manage as we age, particularly after the age of 50. In this video, I explain why these changes occur, such as collagen loss, slower skin cell turnover, and the familiar hormonal swings (hello, menopause!). In addition, I'll go over five skincare elements that really work, such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin, and how they may help your skin feel hydrated and relaxed.
