Ep 42: Menopause Skincare: How to care for aging skin during hormonal changes with esthetician Jen Robinson
Have you looked in the mirror lately and thought… “Why is my skin suddenly dry, dull, sensitive, or breaking out?”
You’re not imagining it — and you’re definitely not alone.
In this empowering episode of The No Expiration Date Podcast, we’re diving deep into how perimenopause and menopause impact your skin — and what you can actually do about it. Hormonal shifts in midlife change collagen production, skin elasticity, hydration levels, and even your skin’s pH. The products that worked in your 30s and 40s? They may not be cutting it anymore.
We’re joined by licensed, award-winning esthetician Jen Robinson, owner of Piel Bella Skincare, who brings over 12 years of experience in corrective skincare, Korean skincare techniques, and oncology-trained esthetics.
Jen breaks down:
The most common skin changes during perimenopause and menopause
Why dryness, dullness, and sensitivity increase
The truth about over-exfoliating (and why less is more)
The ingredients mature skin truly needs (hello, hyaluronic acid + vitamin C)
How lifestyle factors like stress, caffeine, alcohol, sleep, and nutrition impact your glow
When to see an esthetician — and what treatments actually help in your 40s and 50s
Oxygen facials, hydrofacials, and hydration-focused treatments for midlife skin
Why sunscreen is still your #1 anti-aging tool
How to reframe aging skin as evolving, not failing
We also have a powerful moment discussing oncology-trained skincare and how women undergoing or recovering from cancer treatments can safely care for fragile, changing skin.
This conversation isn’t about chasing youth.
It’s about supporting your skin with intention, knowledge, and confidence.
Because your skin isn’t betraying you — it’s communicating with you.
