Moreover, the drop in oestrogen levels also leads to dryness, sensitivity and redness of the skin. Looking fabulous during and even after menopause is definitely possible and there are several beauty products and treatments currently available to cater to the menopausal women’s needs. Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Madhuri Dixit, these are all women who have managed to look just as good even after they’ve hit menopause. They look that great even after they have crossed 50 because they took just the right care that their body, skin needed.

With these specifications and keeping in mind the beauty standards, tech experts have created Computer generated imagery influencers. These CGI-influencers were created for the sole purpose of gaining social media followings. CGI-influencers look just like real life influencers and now brands use these CGI-influencers to endorse their brands. CGI-influencers are the game changers for the beauty industry. Each brand can either use the already existing CGI-influencers for their brand’s endorsements or even create their own CGI models to be the face and identity of their brands.
