Dr. Mamina Turegano: Perimenopause Skin + Hair Problems? When Your Labs Are Normal But Your Skin and Hair Aren't

Did you know that women who wore foundation consistently throughout their lives may have accidentally been protecting their skin from brown spots and hyperpigmentation all along?

That fun fact is only one of the things Dr. Mamina would like to share with every woman going through the drastic changes during perimenopause and menopause.

Because most of what women experience during this transition, the dryness, the breakouts, the thinning hair, the products that suddenly stop working, isn't random. It's hormonal. And most women are never told that, let alone what to do about it.

We dive deeper into this in the latest episode of Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones. We discuss why estrogen loss affects skin and hair in ways lab tests often can't detect, what's actually driving midlife acne and hair thinning, and the simple affordable routine that can genuinely move the needle.

Dr. Mamina Turegano is a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist based in New Orleans, combining conventional science with a holistic approach to skin and hair health for women navigating hormonal change.

You weren't imagining it. You just hadn't been told the whole story yet.
