Changes in hormones and skin that occur with midlife tend to hit women at varying times. For some women there’s a dramatic change when estrogen levels drop. Skin becomes noticeably thinner and this is when I hear more women ask for help with cellulite that wasn’t visible before. 

For other women it’s a roller-coaster ride of hormones and skin problems start or worsen if they did exist before. 

Hormones and… doesn’t that feel like the truth? It’s an integrated process. In this episode of hormones and skin in midlife, I have the SpaDr in the house. 

Among the most frequently asked questions even I as a fitness expert get:

How can I get rid of my crepe skin? 

I’ve lost weight and now I have lose skin, what can I do?

She’s not a stranger to Flipping 50 but it’s been a minute and I’m so happy to have her back. Let’s face it… pun intended, from exercise that you want to do for the bump in circulation there can also be the sweating, sometimes with makeup on, the sun, wind and chlorine, and add that all to hormone fluctuations and it's hard to put that best face forward at times.
