Navigating menopause brings not only internal changes but also visible transformations to your skin. Hormonal shifts during this life stage can lead to a variety of challenges, including dryness, sensitivity, redness, and a weakened skin barrier—issues that can feel overwhelming and frustrating for many women. Fortunately, nature offers a gentle yet powerful solution: Cica.
At ProAge Beauty, we believe that skincare during menopause should focus on healing, strengthening, and soothing. Let’s dive into what Cica is and why it’s quickly becoming a must-have for menopausal and perimenopausal skin.
What Is Cica?
Cica, short for Centella Asiatica, is a leafy green herb native to Asia, often referred to as “tiger grass” because wild tigers have been observed rolling in it to heal their wounds. In skincare, this remarkable botanical has been used for centuries for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Rich in active compounds like asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid, this plant helps to:
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Calm irritation
- Speed up wound healing
- Promote collagen production
Today, it’s featured in a range of soothing creams, serums, and masks—especially beneficial for skin navigating the changes of menopause.
Why Menopausal Skin Benefits from This Healing Herb
During menopause, the skin loses collagen and elasticity due to declining estrogen levels. This hormonal shift leads to increased dryness, thinning, sensitivity, and a slower healing response. Many women notice that products they used comfortably in the past now cause irritation.
Here’s why Centella Asiatica is an ideal addition to your skincare:
- Strengthens the Skin Barrier Cica enhances the production of essential proteins and lipids, helping rebuild the natural barrier that often weakens during menopause. A stronger barrier means better moisture retention and protection from environmental stressors.
- Soothes Redness and Inflammation Hot flashes, irritation, and rosacea-like symptoms can flare up during menopause. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, this botanical calms the skin, reduces visible redness, and provides a cooling, comforting effect.
- Promotes Healing and Repair Menopausal skin tends to heal more slowly. Cica supports the skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to repair micro-damage and maintain a healthier, more resilient complexion.
- Boosts Collagen Production Loss of collagen leads to sagging and fine lines. Active compounds found in Centella Asiatica stimulate collagen synthesis, helping maintain skin firmness and elasticity—making it an effective ally against visible signs of aging.
- Provides Intense Hydration Often combined with humectants like hyaluronic acid, Centella Asiatica delivers deep, lasting hydration—essential for combating menopausal dryness.
How to Incorporate Cica into Your Skincare Routine
Adding Cica to your daily regimen is simple and soothing. Look for:
- Cica Serums to deliver concentrated healing power
- Cica Moisturizers to calm and deeply hydrate
- Cica Masks for an intensive overnight repair treatment
Pro tip: Use products containing this ingredient morning and night, especially after cleansing, to help minimize irritation and rebuild the skin’s strength over time.
