Meet Sharie – “I have reached menopause, which has affected my skin… now my face has a glow and is not as red”
Jan
Sharie found that menopause bought many changes to her skin – including dryness, redness and dull looking skin.
But she’s loving that her simple, quick and easy Ecology Skincare routine has bought a healthy, hydrated looking glow back to her skin.
Here’s Sharie’s story…
“I am 53 years old – a Wife, Mum and Nanna and I work full-time.
My skin was dry – especially around my nose and cheek area. I have also reached menopause, which has affected my skin and made my face quite red looking and dull.
It made feel upset because my skin had always looked good.
I tried many different products, most of them natural. But they didn’t work and were expensive.
I love the way my Ecology Moisturiser leaves my face and I have moisture in my skin again. My face now has a glow and is not as red.
My favourite skincare moisturiser is Hemp and Vanilla – also loving the facial sponge, body sponge and make up remover cloth.
I’m feeling more confident, now that my face is looking and feeling better”
Sharie’s Skincare Routine:
1. Cleanse my face with Ecology Facial Konjac sponges.
2. Use the face washer to rinse my face.
3. Pat my face dry, then apply my Daily Moisturiser
“Love that it’s quick and easy as my daily routine.”

We are beyond happy for Sharie!
It’s always a win when you find something that softens and hydrates dry, red and dull looking skin… even with menopause making unwanted changes to your skin.
Now you might be wondering Sharie’s Daily Moisturiser is so helpful for her ‘menopausal’ skin…?
Our Ecology Creams are handmade with a little known ingredient called grass-fed tallow.
Grass-fed tallow is a gently rendered fat (like emu oil), but it comes from healthy, grass-fed cows
(so this isn’t for our vegan friends!)
Grass-fed tallow might be ‘little known’ now… but everyone from the Aboriginal Australians to our great grandmothers used to use traditional animal fats like tallow, for everything from burns and chafing to blisters and wound healing.
And the reason why grass-fed tallow is good for skin?
- It contains the same kinds of fats and oils found naturally in healthy skin.
- It contains fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K …all of which are crucial for healthy skin (some of these are also antioxidants)
- It’s balanced in omega 3’s and 6’s …both are important for healthy skin
So this means grass-fed tallow can help replace missing lipids (the natural fats and oils) in skin’s outer layer …keeping moisture IN and allergens and irritants OUT.
…and helping to soften dry and redness prone skin and leave it looking plump and well hydrated.
Not only that, as we get older our skin produces less of those lipids (the fats and oils) that keep it soft, supple and healthy looking – so grass-fed tallow helps to replace those missing fats and oils.
So why is it the big brand moisturisers fail to really nourish super dry skin?
It’s because big brand moisturisers are typically 50-80% water (or aqua)
Take a look and you’ll see water as a first ingredient in many of these products.
But this means, there’s only 20-50% left for the skin nourishing ingredients.
Compare this to the Ecology Moisturisers – they’re are 100% natural fats and oils (no water), so they’re highly concentrated to better soften skin and smooth fine lines.
Sharie is loving our Daily Moisturiser, Konjac Sponge and Makeup Removal Cloth

The Replenishing Cream is ultra rich. It has only a handful of ingredients (no essential oils) and is perfect for anyone with dry and sensitive skin or dry skin conditions and skin issues.
The Soothing Baby Cream is lighter in feel and richness compared to the Replenishing Cream and it is gentle for sensitive skin. Calendula can also be helpful for soothing the look of red and easily irritated skin.
The Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Vanilla is very similar to the Replenishing Cream. It has the same mild vanilla aroma, but this one is our lightest cream for richness and feel. So it’s perfect for sensitive skin.
