Episode 3, Season 2 – High Tea with Lady V
"Perimenopause, Menopause & What the Actual F it’s Doing to Your Skin"

Hello my beautiful Lady Gardens,

Pour yourself a cuppa (or something stronger) - this week we’re diving face-first into one of the biggest head-f*cks of midlife: what perimenopause and menopause are doing to our skin, and why it feels like it’s happening overnight.

From dehydrated prune vibes to jowls that seem to appear out of nowhere, I’m breaking down exactly why your face hasn’t betrayed you - your hormones have.

In this episode:

• The five key processes behind skin aging during perimenopause & menopause
• Why inflammation is your skin’s hormonal drama queen
• How estrogen loss affects hydration, collagen, elastin, bone & fat pads
• The truth about skincare, injectables, and treatments that actually help
• My go-to products, ingredients & in-clinic favourites
• Skincare marketing BS you can stop falling for
• The one thing you must do for your skin no matter what: sunscreen

We’ll talk real talk — no anti-aging fluff, no miracle-cream lies — just evidence-based strategies mixed with my signature no-bullshit humour (and the occasional George Clooney reference).

Whether you’re in the middle of hot flushes or just want to get ahead of the hormonal storm, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and as fabulous as possible in Acts 2 and 3 of life.

Links & resources mentioned:

• My full skincare product list (Instagram & website)
• Images of bone loss & fat pad changes
• My Tretinoin/Retinol starter protocol
• HRT & skin health info

Remember ladies: Knowledge is power. Power is wisdom. And a wise vagina is an informed vagina.

But seriously… trust me on the sunscreen.
