HRT, Topical Estrogen And Your Skin - What Really Works for Peri And Menopause Skin

February 26, 2026 21 min read

Part 3 of our Estrogen-Depleted Skin Series tackles a frequently asked question: does HRT actually help your skin?

I also break down the science: what estrogen was doing in your skin, why women lose approximately 30% of their collagen in the first five years after menopause, what the clinical evidence says about HRT and skin, the truth about topical estrogen face creams (including the unregulated ones you can buy on Amazon), and what to do if HRT is not part of your picture.

How To Care For Changing Skin: A Practical Guide for Estrogen-Depleted Skin

February 20, 2026 21 min read

Once you understand why your skin feels in flux or has changed - the collagen loss, the compromised barrier, the dehydration that won't shift — the next question is: what do you actually do about it?

This piece is the practical answer. We walk through the skincare routine framework that works for hormonally changing skin, the core active ingredients doing the real structural work, and how to build a routine around your specific priorities - whether that's dullness, sensitivity, firmness or hormonal breakouts.

We also cover the lifestyle factors that directly affect how your skin behaves, and the honest conversation about shifting from fighting your skin to genuinely supporting it through this transition.
