You know that moment when you catch your reflection and think, when did I start looking so tired? That question comes up again and again for women in perimenopause and menopause, and it’s rarely just about vanity. Dryness, dullness, fine lines, pigmentation and a changing jawline can show up fast, and it can feel like your face is telling a story you didn’t agree to.
I’m Susie Garden, naturopath and clinical nutritionist, and this week I’m sharing some personal news - I’ve bought a boutique advanced skin clinic called e-skin in Southport on the Gold Coast. It isn’t a hard pivot away from hormones, weight, sleep and gut health. It’s an expansion of the same mission: helping you feel like yourself again, from the inside and the outside, because the two are inseparable.
We unpack why skin changes so dramatically in your 40s and 50s, starting with oestrogen and the skin’s oestrogen receptors. We talk collagen (including the stat that women lose around 30% in the first five years after menopause - yikes!), why stress and cortisol can dull and weaken the skin barrier, and why your skincare products may suddenly stop working. I also share my philosophy on evidence-based skincare and treatments, plus how to make choices without getting trapped by pressure to look younger.
If you’re ready for a healthier, more confident approach to menopause skin, hit subscribe or follow, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review if you can. What part of your skin changes has surprised you most lately?
