Q: Anyone Else Getting Butt-ugly During Menopause?

i'm 55 [in two days] have been menopausal since I was 47. I was never beautiful, but the last five years or so I seem to get downright scary.
Dry hair, fish-scale skin, deeeeeep lines in the face and sagging ...Umm....Bodyparts.
I'll not complain about the depression, insomnia, hot flashes and weight-loss. That's part of the deal, huh.
Any advise for a scarecrow from holland?
Thanks.

my face aged a decade overnight at the start of menopause.
I then started taking antioxidant pills.
I diligently used moisturisers.. And day cream with antioxidants..
I try to get 8 hours sleep a night..
But.. I dont look at the clock if I wake during the night.. Id only start calculating the hours sleep I havent/have had.
clearly my youth may have gone forever.. But my skin now looks to be in better condition.

Thanks for reacting, lizzzie
isn't it terribly unfair to age that fast? Eight years ago I was partying and dancing all through the night. Beside the fact that no-one wants to dance with a scare-crow, i'm far too tired to stay up all night. Hehehe.
So...Taking antioxidant pills helps? Or am I beyond help?
