Why Your Skin Changed Overnight

Collagen drops up to 30% in the first 5 years of menopause. THIRTY percent.

The quick explanation
Estrogen supports skin thickness, hydration, and collagen production. Its decline causes faster thinning, dryness, and laxity. Sun damage from earlier years also surfaces now.
Why this matters
Knowing the cause prioritizes the right interventions: sunscreen, retinoids, moisture, and protein.
Tiny action step
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ before leaving the house tomorrow. Every day, forever.
