The parts of ageing well that don't happen on your face.
Sleep, energy, digestion, bone density, comfort, intimacy. All of it shows up in your skin eventually, and none of it is solved by anything in a jar.
We stock two houses here. Eir Women formulate specifically for women over forty rather than adapting something built for another body — named actives, doses printed on the box. Bawdy make intimacy products to the standard we'd expect from a facial serum, which is rarer in that category than it should be.
We'll be honest about the hierarchy: sleep, movement and sun protection outrank everything else available to us. This is the shelf that supports the first two.
Kate recommends
Eir Women Revival Dual Collagen Pro — $59
"I started this for my skin and stayed for my joints, which is not what the packaging leads with. FORTIBONE is in there for bone density — the part nobody discusses and the part that genuinely matters after menopause. Take it for three months before you judge it."
Chloe recommends
Eir Women Reboot Sleep Recovery — $65
"Everything else in my routine is trying to do what a good night's sleep does for free. I'd rather protect the sleep. No fog the next morning, which is where most of this category falls down — forty-five minutes before bed and I'm asleep without feeling drugged into it."
