Glow Through Perimenopause: 3 Remedies for Radiant Skin and Hair

As women journey through perimenopause, the transformative years leading up to menopause, one of the most noticeable changes often shows up in the mirror. Skin becomes drier, hair may lose its shine or thickness, and a once vibrant glow might start to fade. But there’s good news: nature offers incredible allies to support your beauty and well-being during this time.

Enter Tremella Triple Extract, Rosemary Tincture, and Schisandra Tincture—three powerful remedies that work synergistically to help you nurture vibrant skin and luscious hair while navigating perimenopause (scroll down to the end of this article to see them).

1. Tremella Triple Extract: Nature’s Moisture Magnet

Often referred to as the “beauty mushroom,” Tremella (Tremella fuciformis) is renowned for its skin-boosting properties. Packed with polysaccharides, Tremella acts like a natural hyaluronic acid, drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it plump and hydrated. This is especially beneficial during perimenopause, when declining oestrogen levels can lead to a decrease in skin elasticity and moisture.

How Tremella Supports Skin:

• Deep Hydration: Tremella holds up to 500 times its weight in water, making it an exceptional hydrator for dry, aging skin.
• Collagen Boosting: Studies suggest Tremella may support the body’s natural collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Antioxidant Protection: It fights oxidative stress caused by environmental factors, keeping your skin radiant and protected.

A triple extract ensures that you’re getting the full spectrum of Tremella’s benefits—from water-soluble compounds to its fat-soluble bioactives—making it a must-have in your skin care arsenal.

How to Use: A dropper of Tremella Triple Extract neat or added to your favourite smoothie daily for internal hydration support. You can also mix it into serums or tallow moisturisers for a topical boost.

2. Rosemary Tincture: The Scalp and Circulation Hero

Rosemary isn’t just for your kitchen—it’s a powerhouse herb for healthy hair and scalp care. Known for its ability to stimulate circulation, rosemary encourages nutrient-rich blood flow to the scalp, which can support hair growth and prevent thinning.

How Rosemary Supports Hair:

• Boosts Circulation: Improved blood flow to the scalp nourishes hair follicles, encouraging growth and reducing shedding.
• Antioxidant Properties: Rosemary is rich in compounds like rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, which fight free radicals and protect the hair and scalp from oxidative stress.
• Strengthens Hair: Rosemary helps reduce breakage by improving the overall strength and resilience of your hair strands.

Additionally, rosemary can soothe an itchy, irritated scalp—common complaints during perimenopause as skin becomes more sensitive.

How to Use: Take a few drops of rosemary tincture internally, or massage diluted rosemary extract (mixed with a carrier oil) into your scalp 2–3 times a week for maximum hair benefits.

3. Schisandra Tincture: The Glow Berry for Skin Resilience

Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis), often called the “five-flavour berry,” is a true adaptogen that supports the body in adapting to stress and maintaining balance. For perimenopausal skin, Schisandra is a game-changer. Its rich antioxidant profile helps protect skin from damage, while its adaptogenic properties support hormonal harmony, reducing the visible signs of stress and ageing.

How Schisandra Supports Skin and Hair:

• Brightens Skin: Schisandra enhances microcirculation, giving your complexion a natural, healthy glow.
• Reduces Inflammation: It soothes redness and irritation, which can be common as skin becomes more reactive.
• Protects Against Environmental Stressors: Schisandra’s antioxidants shield your skin and hair from pollutants and UV damage.
• Supports Hormonal Balance: By calming the stress response, Schisandra helps mitigate the hormonal fluctuations that can impact skin and hair health during perimenopause.

How to Use: Add a dropper of Schisandra tincture to water or herbal tea daily, or use it as part of a holistic skincare ritual to revitalise from the inside out.

How These Remedies Work Together

Each of these three remedies offers unique benefits, but when combined, they create a holistic approach to beauty during perimenopause. Tremella provides hydration and skin elasticity, Rosemary boosts circulation for a healthy scalp and hair, and Schisandra brings balance and resilience to your skin and body. Together, they form a powerful trifecta to combat dryness, dullness, and thinning hair.

Tips for Incorporating These Remedies Into Your Routine

• Start with one remedy and gradually add the others to observe how your skin and hair respond.
• Pair these remedies with lifestyle habits that support your beauty from within, such as staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and managing stress.
• Combine these extracts with a clean, gentle tallow skincare and Rhassoul clay haircare routine to maximise results.

The Bottom Line

Perimenopause may bring challenges, but it also offers an opportunity to reconnect with your body and care for it in new ways. Tremella, Rosemary, and Schisandra are here to support you, helping you glow with confidence as you embrace this powerful phase of life.
