Menopause changes everything, including your skin. In this episode, I’m exploring what actually happens to our skin during perimenopause and postmenopause, and why your skincare routine needs to evolve with you.

I talk about the key hormonal shifts, why collagen loss isn’t just about wrinkles, and how to support your skin barrier when it suddenly becomes dry, reactive, or unpredictable. I also share my top ingredient recommendations (and what I avoid), how to use devices like microcurrent or LED light safely, and how to embrace this stage of life with strength and confidence.

We also explore a new and promising direction in skincare science—selective estrogen receptor modulators. Instead of simply adding more hormones through replacement therapy, we’re now looking at how to increase the skin’s sensitivity to hormones by boosting estrogen receptor activity. This could be the future of menopause skincare and even help us heal better as we age.

This isn’t about “anti-aging”—it’s about understanding your skin’s biology and responding with kindness, science, and smart strategy. Let’s take the guesswork out of menopause skincare.
