Menopause changes more 
than how skin  looks.

OUR SCIENCE

THE SCIENCE OF CHANGING SKIN

As estrogen declines, skin can lose moisture. lipids, collagen and resilience. 
The fixx ritual is formulated around those changes.

HOW HORMONAL CHANGES AFFECT SKIN

When  estrogen 
changes, skin changes.

Estrogen helps influence hydration, collagen, elasticity and the skin barrier. As levels decline through perimenopause and menopause skin can become drier, thinner, less resilient, and more sensitive.
