As women age and experience menopause/perimenopause, wrinkles and fine lines begin to appear, putting a damper on both the skin and one’s confidence. These downfalls are a direct cause of our bodies’ natural decline in estrogen levels – leading to Estrogen Deficient Skin (“EDS”), which accelerates collagen loss and visible signs of aging. However, through skincare treatments and products, women can restore and improve the appearance of their aging skin.

Since there are plenty of products on the market, Haute Beauty expert Dr. Amy Lewis highlights a favorite, Empelle. Empelle’s line of products is the first and only line of skincare products designed with revolutionary MEP technology for Estrogen Deficient Skin. The effects of Estrogen Deficient Skin include increased:

• Dryness
• Thinning
• Dullness
• Wrinkles

This innovative MEP technology is clinically proven to aid in estrogen-like benefits for the skin without generating side effects. MEP can “turn on” the estrogen receptors in your skin, but has no estrogen-like activity elsewhere. Therefore, it is safe for all women. This novel technology is blocking the aging pathway through a totally different pathway than anything we currently have in our toolbox.

The benefits of Empelle for your skin include hydration, firmness, luminosity, fine lines and wrinkles. If you are dealing with Estrogen Deficient Skin, here are the Empelle products Dr. Lewis recommends:

Empelle Serum

A lightweight, oil-free serum that helps rejuvenate skin’s natural source of radiance, resulting in healthy, youthful-looking skin—specifically created for women in menopause and perimenopause to combat signs of estrogen loss and aging.

This is the newest addition to the exclusive MEP-technology product line. It has an elegant silky texture which is an added benefit to the estrogen-like effects such as firming, nourishing and rejuvenation. The Empelle Eye Cream helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, under-eye puffiness and more. To use apply a pea-sized amount to the eye area once or twice daily, or as consulted by your skincare professional.
