The Problem: Loss of Firmness in Perimenopause

The Cause: Menopause begins in your 50s, but the hormonal effects start years earlier, during perimenopause. Collagen and elasticity suffer as production of progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen slows, says Phuli Cohan, MD, author of The Natural Hormone Makeover.

The Rx: Moisturize with a rich cream that contains anti-aging ingredients to plump and rehydrate skin (try Bliss The Youth As We Know It Moisture Cream, $79, blissworld.com).
