Has your skin suddenly become dry, itchy, sensitive — or started sagging — and you’re wondering what changed?
In this episode of Hot & Healthy Menopause, we go beneath the surface to understand what’s really happening to your skin during perimenopause and menopause.
This is Part 1 of a 2-part series where I explain the science behind midlife skin changes — so you can stop guessing, stop wasting money on gimmicks, and start supporting your skin in a way that actually works.
As your Menopause Coach, I’ll guide you through the real reasons your skin feels different — and why this stage of life requires a completely different approach.
Your skin is not just about appearance — it’s a reflection of your hormones, your health, and your internal environment.
When you understand what’s happening, you can stop fighting your body — and start working with it.
Make sure you tune into
Part 2, where we
dive into:
✔ Cellulite explained (and why 80–90% of women have
it)
✔ Why skin sagging becomes more visible in menopause
✔ The role of fascia, muscle, and bone in skin
firmness
✔ Gut health, omega balance, and inside-out skin
support
✔ What actually works — and what’s just marketing
If you’re ready to feel confident in your skin again, I can help you create a personalised, holistic plan as your Menopause Coach.
