Why Your Skin Changes In Your 30s And 40s

Is your skin suddenly changing in your 30s or 40s? 🧿 Breakouts, acne, dryness, itching, dullness, pigmentation, sagging, hair fall, facial hair, and sensitive skin can feel confusing, especially when they seem to appear almost overnight. In this episode of One Life with Dr. Priyanka, Dr. Priyanka Mehta is joined by Dr. Mehak, a Dubai based dermatologist, to discuss how perimenopause, hormonal changes, collagen loss, stress, thyroid health, vitamin deficiencies, insulin resistance, cortisol, and lifestyle can affect the skin. This conversation goes beyond creams, fillers, lasers, and quick fixes.
