As women age, it becomes harder and harder to feel "beautiful" by society's standards. While we all work on making it easier to feel pretty in a culture that values youth, there are options that can make every gal feel a little more gorgeous - even if she's no longer shopping in the "juniors" section.

Post-menopause Skincare Treats
Most post-menopause women experience dramatic changes in their skin, often complaining that it feels dry and dehydrated. Skinceuticals just launched a new product called H.A. Intensifier, a multi-beneficial corrective serum to help skin increase its own hyaluronic-acid content, which is responsible for maintaining moisture in the skin. Hydrating B5 Gel, also by Skinceuticals, is an essential daily serum used under moisturizer. Restoring moisture levels immediately, and making your moisturizer more hydrating and effective, this product feels silky and amazing on the face and lips! Top it all off with Triple Lipid Restore by Skinceuticals, an ultra-rich moisturizer full of fatty acids, lipids and cholesterol (Great for the skin!) to help restore moisture levels and suppleness. Bonus: It has an irresistible light lavender scent.
