Menopause Rescue

Best Anti-Aging Skincare for Midlife Women: Estrogen, Retinol & More

Listen Later

In this episode of Menopause Rescue, Dr. Polly Watson sits down with nurse practitioner Kate Willis to cut through the noise of anti-aging skincare. Together, they explore science-backed strategies for midlife skin health, from topical estrogen and retinoids to vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and sunscreen. Whether you’re curious about estrogen creams, frustrated with retinol irritation, or just want a clear guide to midlife skincare, this episode gives you practical, evidence-based advice to help your skin stay healthy, resilient, and radiant through menopause and beyond. This is the first in a three-part series with Kate covering skin and hair concerns in midlife.
