Now available - skincare by Winona! 🛍️

We are thrilled to unveil an extraordinary addition to our treatments! Winona patients, you can now enhance your regimen with our exceptional new skincare products. Inform your doctor to seamlessly integrate this into your order to get started on your skin journey. Created with your unique needs in mind, especially during the menopausal transition, our skincare line provides the tender, loving care your skin truly deserves.

Our new skincare cream contains two powerful active ingredients: tretinoin, and estriol. Here is a breakdown of these ingredients and how they benefit your skin. ⬇️

✨ Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A and is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating acne and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It accelerates cell turnover, helping your skin shed old, damaged cells and replacing them with new, healthy ones. This process not only helps to unclog pores but also promotes smoother, more even-toned skin. Regular use of tretinoin can lead to a significant improvement in skin texture and clarity.

✨ Estriol is a form of estrogen, a hormone that plays a vital role in maintaining skin health. Estrogen levels decline with age, leading to thinner, less elastic skin. Estriol helps to counteract this process by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin hydration. This results in firmer, more resilient skin with a youthful glow. Additionally, estriol has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.

During the menopause transition, a key factor in weight gain and redistribution is a decrease in hormones that regulate the metabolism. Menopausal weight gain is directly related to the decrease in the production of hormones and how different systems work together in the body. A delicate balance is required to maintain a healthy weight, and even small shifts in hormone levels can have significant effects. ↙️

A main cause of painful s*x during menopause is vaginal dryness due to decreased estrogen levels. Estrogen helps maintain healthy vaginal tissues, keeping them lubricated and elastic.

● 🌸 Vaginal Dryness: Estrogen loss thins and dries vaginal tissues, making them less elastic and more susceptible to irritation and tearing during s*x.
● 💔 Reduced Blood Flow: Estrogen also contributes to healthy blood flow to the ge****ls. Decreased blood flow can lead to decreased lubrication and sensitivity.
● 😣 Vulvodynia: This chronic condition causes vulvar pain, which can be worsened by s*xual activity. While not exclusive to menopause, it can be more common during this time.

If this is something you've been battling, you're not alone, and this is treatable. Find out more by going to https://bywinona.com/menopause-symptoms/painful-s*x
