Full Transcript Why Your Skin Changes During Perimenopause 0:00 Women are putting 0:00 Women are putting estrogen on their faces 0:02 estrogen on their faces 0:02 estrogen on their faces to look 0:02 to look 0:02 to look younger, and I'm not talking 0:04 younger, and I'm not talking 0:04 younger, and I'm not talking about expensive new 0:05 about expensive new 0:05 about expensive new serums. I 0:05 serums. I 0:05 serums. I literally mean 0:06 literally mean 0:06 literally mean their actual 0:07 their actual 0:07 their actual 0:11 prescription hormone drugs. Some women 0:11 prescription hormone drugs. Some women even take 0:12 even take 0:12 even take estrogen gel, 0:13 estrogen gel, 0:13 estrogen gel, intended for 0:14 intended for 0:14 intended for hormone therapy 0:15 hormone therapy , which should be applied 0:16 , which should be applied 0:16 , which should be applied to the hands, and smear it on the 0:17 to the hands, and smear it on the 0:17 to the hands, and smear it on the face to directly 0:18 face to directly 0:18 face to directly improve the condition of the 0:20 improve the condition of the 0:20 improve the condition of the skin with age. But 0:22 skin with age. But 0:22 skin with age. But the question arises: 0:23 the question arises: 0:23 the question arises: can estrogen 0:24 can estrogen 0:24 can estrogen actually 0:25 actually 0:25 actually reverse skin aging? Have 0:26 reverse skin aging? Have 0:26 reverse skin aging? Have n't 0:27 n't 0:28 n't we gone too far with this idea? 0:29 we gone too far with this idea? 0:29 we gone too far with this idea? Let's talk 0:30 Let's talk 0:30 Let's talk about it in this video. 0:31 about it in this video. 0:31 about it in this video. If you woke up 0:32 If you woke up 0:32 If you woke up after 40, 0:33 after 40, 0:33 after 40, looked at your 0:34 looked at your 0:34 looked at your skin and thought, “Oh 0:35 skin and thought, “Oh my God, what happened?” 0:36 my God, what happened?” 0:36 my God, what happened?” Why has 0:37 Why has 0:37 Why has my skin's elasticity changed so much 0:38 my skin's elasticity changed so much 0:38 my skin's elasticity changed so much ? 0:39 ? 0:39 ? No matter 0:40 No matter 0:40 No matter what expensive creams with 0:41 what expensive creams with 0:41 what expensive creams with retinol, 0:41 retinol, 0:41 retinol, hyaluronic 0:42 hyaluronic 0:42 hyaluronic acid, or 0:43 acid, or 0:43 acid, or peptides you 0:43 peptides you 0:43 peptides you put on your face, 0:45 put on your face, 0:45 put on your face, it seems like changes are 0:46 it seems like changes are 0:46 it seems like changes are still 0:46 still 0:46 still happening. This is because 0:48 happening. This is because in the first 5 years of 0:49 in the first 5 years of 0:49 in the first 5 years of perimenopause or 0:50 perimenopause or 0:50 perimenopause or even just after 0:52 even just after 0:52 even just after age 40, your skin 0:53 age 40, your skin 0:53 age 40, your skin loses up to 30% of its 0:54 loses up to 30% of its total collagen. 0:56 total collagen. 0:58 And women apply 0:58 And women apply estrogen and 0:59 estrogen and 0:59 estrogen and estradiol creams 1:00 estradiol creams 1:00 estradiol creams directly to their faces to 1:01 directly to their faces to 1:01 directly to their faces to stop this 1:02 stop this 1:02 stop this collagen loss and 1:03 collagen loss and 1:03 collagen loss and prevent sagging 1:04 prevent sagging 1:04 prevent sagging and deep wrinkles. 1:05 and deep wrinkles. 1:06 and deep wrinkles. In clinical 1:07 In clinical 1:07 In clinical trials, 1:08 trials, 1:08 trials, topical estrogen 1:09 topical estrogen 1:09 topical estrogen reduced pore size 1:10 reduced pore size 1:10 reduced pore size and wrinkle depth by 1:12 and wrinkle depth by 1:12 and wrinkle depth by 60%. But is it safe 1:13 60%. But is it safe 1:13 60%. But is it safe to apply estrogen to your 1:15 to apply estrogen to your 1:15 to apply estrogen to your face, or are you 1:15 face, or are you 1:15 face, or are you risking your health 1:17 risking your health 1:17 risking your health for the cosmetic 1:18 for the cosmetic 1:18 for the cosmetic effect? As a dual-boarded OB- 1:19 effect? As a dual-boarded OB- GYN 1:19 GYN 1:19 GYN 1:21 , I 1:21 , I will tell you the whole truth 1:22 will tell you the whole truth 1:22 will tell you the whole truth about estrogen 1:23 about estrogen 1:23 about estrogen creams and their safety 1:24 creams and their safety . So, here is the main 1:25 . So, here is the main 1:25 . So, here is the main reason why 1:26 reason why 1:26 reason why regular cosmetics 1:27 regular cosmetics 1:27 regular cosmetics stop working 1:28 stop working 1:28 stop working after 40. Your 1:29 after 40. Your 1:29 after 40. Your skin is an 1:30 skin is an 1:30 skin is an endocrine organ. 1:31 endocrine organ. 1:31 endocrine organ. In fact, it is a 1:32 In fact, it is a 1:32 In fact, it is a metabolic organ. 1:33 metabolic organ. 1:34 metabolic organ. The skin on your face is 1:35 The skin on your face is 1:35 The skin on your face is densely covered with 1:36 densely covered with 1:36 densely covered with receptors, 1:36 receptors, 1:37 receptors, estrogen 1:37 estrogen 1:37 estrogen receptors, both alpha 1:39 receptors, both alpha and beta. Estrogen 1:41 and beta. Estrogen is the master 1:41 is the master 1:41 is the master switch for three 1:43 switch for three 1:43 switch for three vital 1:44 vital 1:44 vital skin functions. 1:45 skin functions. First, it 1:46 First, it 1:46 First, it signals dermal 1:47 signals dermal 1:47 signals dermal fibroblasts 1:48 fibroblasts 1:48 fibroblasts to produce types 1:49 to produce types 1:49 to produce types I and III collagen 1:50 I and III collagen 1:50 I and III collagen . This is what gives your 1:52 . This is what gives your 1:52 . This is what gives your skin fullness 1:53 skin fullness 1:53 skin fullness when you start to 1:54 when you start to 1:54 when you start to lose volume. 1:56 lose volume. Secondly, 1:57 Secondly, 1:58 Secondly, moisture retention. You have a 2:00 moisture retention. You have a 2:00 moisture retention. You have a natural production of 2:01 natural production of 2:01 natural production of hyaluronic acid 2:02 hyaluronic acid 2:02 hyaluronic acid in your skin deep in the 2:03 in your skin deep in the 2:03 in your skin deep in the extracellular 2:04 extracellular 2:04 extracellular matrix. And when you 2:06 matrix. And when you 2:06 matrix. And when you lose estrogen, 2:07 lose estrogen, 2:07 lose estrogen, you lose that 2:08 you lose that 2:08 you lose that ability to retain 2:09 ability to retain 2:09 ability to retain moisture in your skin. It 2:10 moisture in your skin. It 2:10 moisture in your skin. It becomes much 2:11 becomes much 2:11 becomes much drier. Thirdly, 2:12 drier. Thirdly, 2:12 drier. Thirdly, microcirculation. It 2:14 microcirculation. It 2:14 microcirculation. It supports blood flow, 2:15 supports blood flow, 2:15 supports blood flow, delivering oxygen and 2:16 delivering oxygen and 2:16 delivering oxygen and nutrients to 2:17 nutrients to 2:17 nutrients to the surface of the skin, 2:18 the surface of the skin, 2:18 the surface of the skin, giving you that 2:19 giving you that 2:19 giving you that same glow, right 2:20 same glow, right 2:20 same glow, right ? At 20, you have a 2:21 ? At 20, you have a 2:21 ? At 20, you have a natural blush, 2:23 natural blush, 2:23 natural blush, but with age, your face 2:24 but with age, your face 2:24 but with age, your face becomes more sunken and 2:25 becomes more sunken and 2:25 becomes more sunken and dull. So when the 2:27 dull. So when the 2:29 ovaries start 2:29 ovaries start to function 2:29 to function 2:29 to function erratically during perimenopause, sometimes with 2:30 erratically during perimenopause, sometimes with 2:30 erratically during perimenopause, sometimes with activity, sometimes without, the 2:31 activity, sometimes without, the 2:31 activity, sometimes without, the skin receptors don't 2:32 skin receptors don't 2:32 skin receptors don't get what they 2:33 get what they 2:33 get what they need. So, 2:34 need. So, 2:34 need. So, the problem is not a lack of 2:36 the problem is not a lack of 2:36 the problem is not a lack of expensive cosmetics. 2:38 expensive cosmetics. 2:38 expensive cosmetics. You have an endocrine 2:39 You have an endocrine 2:39 You have an endocrine deficiency in the dermis, which 2:40 deficiency in the dermis, which 2:40 deficiency in the dermis, which means a hormonal 2:41 means a hormonal 2:41 means a hormonal deficiency in the skin. So, 2:43 deficiency in the skin. So, 2:43 deficiency in the skin. So, if you're interested in 2:44 if you're interested in 2:44 if you're interested in using 2:45 using 2:45 using estrogen, let's 2:46 estrogen, let's 2:46 estrogen, let's take a look at what 2:46 take a look at what 2:46 take a look at what actually 2:47 actually 2:47 actually happens when you 2:48 happens when you 2:48 happens when you apply it to your 2:49 apply it to your 2:49 apply it to your face and what 2:50 face and what 2:50 face and what critical mistakes to 2:51 critical mistakes to 2:51 critical mistakes to avoid. Okay, 2:52 avoid. Okay, 2:52 avoid. Okay, let's start with the 2:52 let's start with the 2:52 let's start with the 2:54 misuse of 2:54 misuse of vaginal 2:55 vaginal 2:55 vaginal estrogen for the 2:56 estrogen for the 2:56 estrogen for the face. Many women 2:59 face. Many women 2:59 face. Many women take a vaginal
Estrogen for Skin: Benefits and Potential Risks 3:00 take a vaginal 3:00 take a vaginal estrogen cream 3:01 estrogen cream 3:01 estrogen cream or gel and apply 3:02 or gel and apply 3:02 or gel and apply it directly 3:03 it directly 3:03 it directly to the wrinkles. 3:04 to the wrinkles. 3:07 So what does the 3:07 So what does the data show? Studies 3:08 data show? Studies 3:09 data show? Studies show that topical 3:10 show that topical 3:10 show that topical application of 3:11 application of 3:11 application of estradiol to the skin 3:12 estradiol to the skin 3:12 estradiol to the skin improves its thickness, 3:13 improves its thickness, 3:16 elasticity, and 3:16 elasticity, and reduces pore size. 3:18 reduces pore size. 3:18 reduces pore size. These are the kinds of changes that 3:19 These are the kinds of changes that 3:19 These are the kinds of changes that happen as you 3:20 happen as you 3:20 happen as you age after 40 3:21 age after 40 3:21 age after 40 . There is a difference 3:22 . There is a difference 3:22 . There is a difference between the lining of your 3:23 between the lining of your 3:23 between the lining of your vagina and 3:24 vagina and 3:24 vagina and your skin. The 3:25 your skin. The 3:25 your skin. The vaginal lining 3:26 vaginal lining 3:27 vaginal lining has a mucous membrane 3:28 has a mucous membrane 3:28 has a mucous membrane that 3:29 that 3:29 that absorbs substances quite quickly. 3:30 absorbs substances quite quickly. 3:31 absorbs substances quite quickly. Facial skin has a 3:32 Facial skin has a 3:32 Facial skin has a thick outer 3:33 thick outer 3:33 thick outer layer—the stratum corneum, which 3:34 layer—the stratum corneum, which 3:34 layer—the stratum corneum, which means that systemic 3:35 means that systemic 3:35 means that systemic absorption when 3:36 absorption when 3:36 absorption when applied to the face is 3:37 applied to the face is 3:37 applied to the face is actually slightly 3:38 actually slightly 3:38 actually slightly lower. So you should be 3:40 lower. So you should be 3:40 lower. So you should be aware that this may be an 3:41 aware that this may be an 3:41 aware that this may be an unequal exchange, 3:42 unequal exchange, 3:42 unequal exchange, and vaginal 3:43 and vaginal 3:43 and vaginal estrogens may not 3:44 estrogens may not 3:44 estrogens may not have the effect 3:45 have the effect 3:45 have the effect you expect 3:46 you expect 3:46 you expect for the skin. Some 3:47 for the skin. Some 3:47 for the skin. Some women find it helps, 3:49 women find it helps, 3:49 women find it helps, while some find 3:50 while some find 3:50 while some find it doesn't work very 3:51 it doesn't work very 3:51 it doesn't work very well. Another 3:51 well. Another 3:51 well. Another feature of 3:52 feature of 3:52 feature of vaginal 3:53 vaginal 3:53 vaginal estrogen is that 3:54 estrogen is that 3:54 estrogen is that it is 3:55 it is 3:55 it is estradiol. And for 3:56 estradiol. And for 3:56 estradiol. And for some women, it may 3:57 some women, it may 3:57 some women, it may be too 3:58 be too 3:58 be too intense, 3:59 intense, 3:59 intense, unlike estriol, 4:00 unlike estriol, 4:00 unlike estriol, which acts on beta 4:01 which acts on beta receptors in the skin. So 4:02 receptors in the skin. So , vaginal 4:03 , vaginal 4:03 , vaginal estrogen is not always an 4:04 estrogen is not always an 4:04 estrogen is not always an ideal option 4:05 ideal option 4:05 ideal option for off-label 4:06 for off-label 4:06 for off-label use on the 4:07 use on the 4:07 use on the face for some 4:08 face for some 4:08 face for some women. They may 4:09 women. They may 4:09 women. They may prefer 4:10 prefer 4:10 prefer products with 4:10 products with 4:10 products with estriol or 4:11 estriol or 4:11 estriol or combination products 4:12 combination products . Number two, melasma. 4:15 . Number two, melasma. 4:19 If you've experienced 4:19 If you've experienced melasma, sometimes 4:20 melasma, sometimes 4:20 melasma, sometimes called the "mask of 4:21 called the "mask of 4:21 called the "mask of pregnancy" because 4:23 pregnancy" because 4:25 dark pigment spots appear 4:25 dark pigment spots appear when your hormones are 4:26 when your hormones are 4:26 when your hormones are unbalanced, 4:27 unbalanced, 4:27 unbalanced, especially during 4:28 especially during 4:28 especially during pregnancy or due to 4:29 pregnancy or due to 4:29 pregnancy or due to sun exposure, then you're 4:30 sun exposure, then you're 4:30 sun exposure, then you're prone to these 4:31 prone to these 4:31 prone to these hyperpigmented spots 4:32 hyperpigmented spots . Therefore, you 4:35 . Therefore, you 4:35 . Therefore, you need to be 4:35 need to be 4:35 need to be careful with estrogen, as 4:36 careful with estrogen, as 4:36 careful with estrogen, as it can stimulate 4:37 it can stimulate 4:38 it can stimulate melanocytes. These are 4:38 melanocytes. These are 4:38 melanocytes. These are cells that 4:39 cells that 4:39 cells that produce pigment. 4:40 produce pigment. 4:40 produce pigment. Therefore, applying 4:41 Therefore, applying 4:41 Therefore, applying concentrated 4:42 concentrated 4:42 concentrated estrogen to the face 4:43 estrogen to the face 4:43 estrogen to the face can cause 4:44 can cause 4:44 can cause hyperpigmentation, 4:45 hyperpigmentation, 4:45 hyperpigmentation, especially when combined 4:46 especially when combined 4:46 especially when combined with 4:47 with 4:47 with sun exposure. So it's 4:48 sun exposure. So it's 4:48 sun exposure. So it's always a good idea to do a 4:49 always a good idea to do a 4:49 always a good idea to do a patch test on a 4:50 patch test on a 4:50 patch test on a small area 4:51 small area 4:51 small area near your jawline 4:52 near your jawline 4:52 near your jawline if you're considering 4:53 if you're considering 4:53 if you're considering this option, but 4:53 this option, but 4:53 this option, but if you know 4:54 if you know 4:54 if you know you're prone to 4:55 you're prone to 4:55 you're prone to melasma, I would 4:56 melasma, I would 4:56 melasma, I would avoid using 4:57 avoid using 4:57 avoid using estrogen on your face altogether. 4:58 estrogen on your face altogether. 4:59 estrogen on your face altogether. Number three, 5:00 Number three, 5:00 Number three, estriol creams. I was talking 5:01 estriol creams. I was talking 5:01 estriol creams. I was talking about estradiol, and 5:02 about estradiol, and 5:02 about estradiol, and now we're talking about 5:04 now we're talking about 5:04 now we're talking about estriol. Some women 5:05 estriol. Some women 5:05 estriol. Some women find this to be a 5:06 find this to be a 5:06 find this to be a safer option 5:08 safer option 5:08 safer option for the face. 5:10 for the face. 5:10 for the face. Unlike E2, or 5:11 Unlike E2, or 5:11 Unlike E2, or estradiol, such as in 5:12 estradiol, such as in 5:12 estradiol, such as in vaginal cream, 5:13 vaginal cream, 5:13 vaginal cream, estriol is a weaker 5:15 estriol is a weaker 5:15 estriol is a weaker estrogen that 5:15 estrogen that 5:15 estrogen that selectively 5:16 selectively 5:16 selectively binds to 5:17 binds to 5:17 binds to estrogen 5:18 estrogen 5:18 estrogen receptors in the skin. And 5:20 receptors in the skin. And 5:20 receptors in the skin. And it doesn't bind to 5:22 it doesn't bind to 5:22 it doesn't bind to important 5:22 important 5:22 important receptors, like 5:23 receptors, like 5:23 receptors, like alpha receptors in 5:24 alpha receptors in 5:28 breast or uterine tissues. So 5:28 breast or uterine tissues. So low-dose 5:29 low-dose 5:29 low-dose combined estriol 5:30 combined estriol 5:30 combined estriol may be an even 5:31 may be an even 5:31 may be an even better choice if 5:32 better choice if 5:32 better choice if you are only aiming for 5:33 you are only aiming for 5:33 you are only aiming for facial rejuvenation. 5:34 facial rejuvenation. 5:37 Question four: does 5:37 Question four: does systemic HRT replace 5:38 systemic HRT replace 5:38 systemic HRT replace face creams? 5:40 face creams? 5:40 face creams? If you are already taking 5:41 If you are already taking 5:41 If you are already taking systemic HRT, you 5:42 systemic HRT, you 5:42 systemic HRT, you have probably noticed that your 5:43 have probably noticed that your 5:43 have probably noticed that your skin condition 5:44 skin condition 5:44 skin condition has generally improved, because 5:45 has generally improved, because 5:45 has generally improved, because positive changes 5:46 positive changes 5:46 positive changes are occurring everywhere. And 5:48 are occurring everywhere. And 5:48 are occurring everywhere. And if you use an 5:49 if you use an 5:49 if you use an estradiol 5:50 estradiol 5:50 estradiol patch or gel— 5:51 patch or gel— it's a systemic 5:52 it's a systemic 5:52 it's a systemic estrogen— 5:53 estrogen— it nourishes the skin 5:54 it nourishes the skin 5:54 it nourishes the skin from the inside because it 5:55 from the inside because it 5:55 from the inside because it works on the entire body. 5:56 works on the entire body. 5:59 However, many women 5:59 However, many women still feel the 6:00 still feel the 6:00 still feel the need for topical 6:01 need for topical 6:01 need for topical facial products 6:02 facial products 6:02 facial products due to the profound loss of 6:03 due to the profound loss of 6:03 due to the profound loss of collagen and 6:04 collagen and 6:04 collagen and dullness of the skin that 6:05 dullness of the skin that 6:05 dullness of the skin that occurs 6:06 occurs 6:06 occurs due to declining 6:07 due to declining 6:07 due to declining estrogen levels. Therefore 6:08 estrogen levels. Therefore , systemic options for 6:09 , systemic options for 6:09 , systemic options for estradiol, such as a 6:10 estradiol, such as a 6:10 estradiol, such as a patch or gel, 6:11 patch or gel, 6:11 patch or gel, may be 6:12 may be 6:12 may be insufficient without 6:13 insufficient without 6:13 insufficient without additional 6:13 additional 6:13 additional topical 6:14 topical 6:14 topical application. Now 6:15 application. Now , if you want to 6:16 , if you want to 6:16 , if you want to get the 6:17 get the 6:17 get the skin-plumping effects of 6:17 skin-plumping effects of 6:17 skin-plumping effects of estrogen 6:18 estrogen 6:18 estrogen without the use of 6:19 without the use of 6:19 without the use of 6:20 prescription hormonal 6:20 prescription hormonal drugs, here are 6:21 drugs, here are 6:21 drugs, here are the best 6:22 the best 6:22 the best non-hormonal 6:22 non-hormonal 6:22 non-hormonal alternatives and 6:23 alternatives and 6:23 alternatives and clinical protocols 6:24 clinical protocols 6:24 clinical protocols that I use for 6:25 that I use for 6:25 that I use for my patients. 6:26 my patients. 6:26 my patients. The first is MEEP, 6:27 The first is MEEP, 6:27 The first is MEEP, methylestradiol 6:28 methylestradiol 6:28 methylestradiol propionate, a 6:28 propionate, a 6:28 propionate, a specialized 6:29 specialized 6:29 specialized estrogen receptor ligand 6:30 estrogen receptor ligand 6:32 designed to 6:32 designed to 6:33 bind locally to 6:33 bind locally to skin receptors 6:34 skin receptors 6:34 skin receptors that rapidly 6:35 that rapidly 6:35 that rapidly breaks down, 6:36 breaks down, 6:36 breaks down, preventing 6:37 preventing 6:37 preventing systemic absorption 6:38 systemic absorption . Phytoestrogens are 6:39 . Phytoestrogens are 6:39 . Phytoestrogens are plant- 6:40 plant- 6:40 plant- derived compounds from soy and 6:41 derived compounds from soy and 6:41 derived compounds from soy and legumes that 6:42 legumes that 6:42 legumes that bind to 6:42 bind to 6:42 bind to estrogen 6:43 estrogen 6:43 estrogen receptors in the skin, 6:44 receptors in the skin, 6:44 receptors in the skin, supporting 6:45 supporting 6:45 supporting collagen production 6:46 collagen production 6:46 collagen production and providing 6:47 and providing 6:47 and providing antioxidant 6:47 antioxidant 6:47 antioxidant protection. This is generally 6:49 protection. This is generally 6:49 protection. This is generally beneficial for the entire 6:50 beneficial for the entire 6:50 beneficial for the entire body. 6:50 body. 6:50 body. Phytoestrogens are great for 6:51 Phytoestrogens are great for 6:54 middle-aged women. So , let's talk 6:55 , let's talk 6:55 , let's talk about my three-step 6:56 about my three-step 6:57 perimenopausal skincare protocol 6:57 perimenopausal skincare protocol . 6:58 . First, what you eat 6:59 First, what you eat 6:59 First, what you eat is just as important
Non-Hormonal Alternatives & the 3-Step Skincare Protocol 7:01 is just as important 7:01 is just as important as what you 7:01 as what you 7:01 as what you put on your skin. 7:03 put on your skin. 7:03 put on your skin. The priority is protein and 7:04 The priority is protein and 7:04 The priority is protein and fiber. You won't 7:05 fiber. You won't 7:05 fiber. You won't be able to build 7:07 be able to build 7:07 be able to build collagen without 7:07 collagen without 7:07 collagen without amino acids like 7:08 amino acids like 7:08 amino acids like glycine and proline. So it's 7:10 glycine and proline. So it's 7:10 glycine and proline. So it's important to make sure 7:11 important to make sure you're getting 7:12 you're getting 7:12 you're getting enough protein, 7:13 enough protein, 7:13 enough protein, quality fiber, 7:15 quality fiber, 7:15 quality fiber, vitamin D, and 7:15 vitamin D, and 7:15 vitamin D, and eating an overall 7:17 eating an overall 7:17 eating an overall healthy diet 7:18 healthy diet . I usually 7:19 . I usually 7:19 . I usually recommend an 7:20 recommend an 7:20 recommend an anti-inflammatory diet. 7:21 anti-inflammatory diet. 7:21 anti-inflammatory diet.
