EARN YOUR STRIPES

When Oscar-nominated actress Naomi Watts entered perimenopause, she was shocked at the lack of resources and support for women navigating this new stage of life. So, she created Stripes Beauty, a science-backed, sustainable skincare and wellness brand for women in perimenopause and menopause. The product line offers solutions for the skin, body, and mind’s changing needs, from thinning hair to collagen loss. As Dr. Somi Javaid, founder of HerMD and brand advisor, put it: “Menopause affects every cell in the body, including skin. Stripes is changing that. It’s not just skincare, it’s science-based care that finally takes menopausal women seriously.” Here are three Stripes essentials worth adding to your shelf.

The Full Monty Squalane Hydrating Vitamin C Body Oil

“No sticky, no greasy,” said Watts of her glow-inducing body oil, a luxe post-shower blend of squalane, acai oil, vitamins C and E, and Kakadu plum that melts into skin, hydrates deeply, and leaves you gleaming from head to toe. $65
