Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast

There is no question that something happens to skin once you hit 50, and that something isn’t good. So is it just a coincidence that wrinkles and sags occur the same time your periods disappear, or is it just one of those mid-life things? The answer is, both. But all is not lost. There are things you can do that will make a real difference.

• WHY skin changes in menopause
• WHAT you can do to help stop the clock
• WHICH facial moisturizers are best?
• The role of antioxidants, hydroxyacids and plant extracts
• Does the ESTROGEN you take for hot flashes help your skin?
• Can you put estrogen ON your face?
