Afternoon, can anyone recommend any lotions, moisturisers for extremely dry skin especially on lower legs due to peri. Thank you 
I’ve always found e45 to work… (if you shave) make sure you moisturise straight after shaving legs , so the gel/foam doesn’t dry legs… worked for me xAfternoon, can anyone recommend any lotions, moisturisers for extremely dry skin especially on lower legs due to peri. Thank you
Not a question, a statement of fact.
Bastard chin hairs. I have been walking around with two very long ones for God knows how long just under my chin. Just didn’t see them until just now. Mortifying. An inch and a half long each.

They are the devil's work.
I remember first having one or two in my late 30s. And I'd pluck one then and see it again in a month. Now at 50 the fuckers are rampant. If I leave it more than a few days there are loads.
Has anyone gone through menopause without hot flushes? I remember my mum suffering these all the time for years. I'm pretty sure I am menopausal but not one hot flush, and not many other symptoms....not sure if I've just been extremely lucky or if it's common to escape lightly.
I haven't had a hot flush but i have had other symptoms
Thank you
it’s a nightmare especially at night time they become so itchy to 
Iv not had hot flushes but I am really warm most of the time and have experienced cold sweats at night
Never check in your car mirror!!
it’s the worst everI think god is getting his own back on me, all my life, very light periods. No cramps or anything other than the day before my period a dull headache… oh what a smug witch I was… going peri and full on meno, you name it I’ve suffered it… I spoke to my mum about it… her response… yoga! It worked for me!

You have my sympathy. I have taken to avoiding mirrors. Covid masks were a blessing there for a while. I currently look like this.
I had minimal flushes. I started taking sage, stopped them dead.
Is itching a sign of peri? I’m 46 and I’m so itchy at night 
Yeah it is. I found e45 and antihistamine worked for a whileIs itching a sign of peri? I’m 46 and I’m so itchy at night
YES YES YES iv cut my ears and made them sore trying to get to the itchIs itching a sign of peri? I’m 46 and I’m so itchy at night
iv got up in the morning with blood on my sheets with scratching my legs It’s my torso mostly - driving me mad. 
It’s not the best, and it’s an itch you need to scratch. I think it’s to do with oestrogenIt’s my torso mostly - driving me mad.
Yes!! I ripped the skin off my face and neck last night it was so itchy and burning now all my face and neck are bleeding and sore,
I have had a couple of hot flushes as well: my cheeks go all hot and pink for no reason.
Epaderm is a good moisturiser and comes in cream and an ointment, developed by dermatologist’s. Weleda skin food is another one, there’s a body butter, lotion and even one for the face but it does contain lanolin that may irritate some.Afternoon, can anyone recommend any lotions, moisturisers for extremely dry skin especially on lower legs due to peri.

How are you ladies coping with any increase in weight. Despite everything including calorie counting. 3x exercise classes a week+ lots of walking, I can’t shift anything. It’s really getting me down.
I'm struggling too. It's all around my middle and I look pregnant!
