Symptoms of Menopause: Dry skin, hair and eyes
During menopause, your skin is likely to become thinner, and wrinkles may appear because of lack of moisture. Your hair, too, may become thinner and lose its color (but only your hairdresser knows this!). However, eyesight may actually become better for some people who were nearsighted in early life. Some women do complain of dry eyes, and may find that it's harder to wear contact lenses.
What you can do: Stay out of the sun, or wear sunblock and protective clothing as well as dark glasses. Be sure to wear a daily moisturizer with at least SPF15.
