Menopause has long been shrouded in stigma and a lack of understanding. But as the beauty industry moves away from a one-size-fits-all approach, Avon is launching adapt Sync, a line of three skincare products designed to address the hormonal changes experienced by perimenopausal women.

All sorts of stigmas are being broken in today's beauty industry, but the needs of menopausal women are often ignored. Absent in ads and lacking products for their changing skin and hair, these women are now pushing brands to step up and address this ‘last taboo’ without any sugar-coating.

Menopause. Perimenopause. Most people have heard the words but how many really know what they mean? Despite the fact that it’s an almost-universal experience for women, no one really talks about it, and as a result, nearly half of women feel unprepared for this chapter in their lives.

Throughout history, women's bodies have often been associated with stigma and shame, but people are pushing for a change to this narrative. Indian Netflix series Bombay Begums has won fans for its efforts to portray a taboo topic with authenticity – the experience of menopause.
