Episode Summary
If you’re like me, you’ve noticed that among all the other crazy changes happening in perimenopause, your skin isn’t the same as it used to be.
In this episode, I’m joined by triple board-certified dermatologist and skincare expert Dr. Mamina Turegano to break down what’s really happening to your skin during midlife.
From increased dryness and loss of firmness to subtle shifts in texture, we explore why these changes occur and how fluctuations in your hormones play a major role.
Dr. Turegano shares how your skin is truly a window into your internal health, offering clues about everything from inflammation to overall aging and longevity.
This conversation goes beyond surface-level skincare to help you understand what your skin is trying to tell you—and how to support it from the inside out.
You’ll also learn what actually works (and what to skip) so you can simplify your routine and avoid common midlife skincare mistakes.
Tune in here to feel like your most confident and radiant self!

QUOTES
“It’s all tied together, how you take care of yourself internally and optimize your skin health. That all will manifest with how you age externally.”
“I want people to feel reassured. They don’t have to do a lot. The super foundational part of a skincare routine is making sure that you’re cleansing daily— even washing your face is anti-aging.”
“I’m all about implementing lifestyle strategies. Skincare and lasers, they could do a lot, but they can only do so much. You can really optimize the results of your skincare and your procedures too if you have the right mechanisms in place internally. If your mitochondria is optimized, optimizing your sleep, minimizing more of those inflammation-inducing foods, minimizing sugar, minimizing alcohol, minimizing stress.”
