This podcast episode features a discussion by Dr. Shirley Madhère on peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause, focusing on the hormonal changes that lead to symptoms that include dry skin, sagging skin, skin discoloration, and loss of volume. She provides a brief primer on the physiology of menopause (and andropause), and also makes recommendations for the skin care ingredients most effective for aging skin during this natural stage of transition in women.

FAB Five recommendations for healthy and radiant skin before, during and after menopause:

1) Eat clean nutrition that is rich in anti-inflammatory antioxidants and low in sugar;

2) Hydrate—internally as well as topically on the skin;

3) Manage stress frequently and effectively: swimming in a pool of cortisol will wreak havoc on your skin (and your life!);

4) Exercise adequately—to boost circulation that will help the skin to look brighter;

5) Sleep as if your body depends on it (it does!);

6) Bonus: Use skincare products that are designed to work with your skin’s transitions.
