Is really thirsty skin a symptom of menopause? My outer skin is greasy but feels parched from within. Plus I have aching joints.

Some women do find that their skin changes in the menopause and aching joints are quite common when oestrogen levels fall. I would suggest a Sea Buckthorn Oil supplement for the skin, and you could try Devils Claw for the joints. Just remember to drink plenty of plain water, as dehydration can cause dry skin and sore joints as well!
