@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Are you still using emepelle? Do you have any updates for us?

[@docm5314]

FYI - perimenopausal changes start occurring up to 10 years prior to your last menstrual period. Menopause is 12 consecutive months without a period. In addition, during perimenopause you initially produce more estrogen than you ever did in your reproductive years and have less consistent production of progesterone. Thus, many women experience increase irritability, weight gain, increased PMS, “flooding” (periods where you cannot leave the bathroom) etc. estrogen will eventually drop at menopause. Btw - hot flashes are not simply from “low estrogen” it’s actually microfluctuations with high levels that drop that occur throughout day that mess with your thermostat. Taking estrogen helps not because of deficiency but rather because it flattens out the fluctuations thereby not triggering the thermostat (during perimenopause) Hormones are very complicated and affect immune function, brain chemistry, and energy. Wow. Sorry. I’ve been specializing for >22 yrs and would really like more women to get accurate info so they can be informed and empowered 💪🏻 Glad your helping open women’s eyes Penny 👍🏻

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Thank you SO much!!! This is fantastic information. I am clearly NOT the expert on this so I am completely open to hearing from experts like you. I screenshot this to read again 💜

[@jodyfro1312]

What would you recommend as a solid resource for this information? I feel that I have floundered looking for legit info and was left feeling that menopause is largely misunderstood and under-studied in the US. Or maybe it just isn’t a money maker. Disheartening.

[@saniaz680]

Does this mean that we should be on estrogen when we are nearing menopause ? Like a few years before or just when it starts? Any other things we should talk to our doctor about taking ?

[@jmoy-nb3sj]

Menopause & peri-M is like getting hit with a 2x4. Because of my mother succumbing to breast cancer, I am not a candidate for HRT. None of my usual tricks worked for keeping weight down, skin plump, etc...realized meno calls for a whole new game plan. Completely gave up sugar, alcohol, went low carb & IF and switched up my tired old exercise regime. Wish I did this in my 20's. Hot flashes completely stopped, brain fog lifted, sleeping better, lost weight, skin seems better & calmer.

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

That is inspiring to me! Thank you for sharing. I agree, whole new gameplan. I’m so sorry about your mom, if there is one thing I hate....it is cancer. 😞😞😞

Its unfortunate these products are so expensive and not available in Canada. I hope other companies also come out with similar products. Good skincare shouldn't be that expensive and unattainable for the average woman.

[@lindsaypioletti1057]

[@ksc743]

LynnP unfortunately it is a billion dollar industry. Most women can't afford expensive creams and serums. I've been using a range that was really inexpensive but had all the acids, but because it's become such a thing they have now rebranded those same products and I can no longer afford them. Money money money. So frustrating.

I've been on HRT for 7 years. Only if you're not high risk, I swear by it! It's been a lifesaver for me and society. Because I probably would've hurt someone by now if I weren't on it. LOL Nothing like being irritable because of your hormones! :) Thanks for another great video!

I’m finding that I feel absolute rage over such little things that I feel like I’m going crazy! Don’t worry, I won’t actually hurt anyone, I just do a lot of grumbling and stomping around like a lunatic. My husband and dog look at me and get out of my way. I’m also getting really forgetful lately and it’s really quite upsetting.

🌴🌺 Hello Penny!!! At the beginning of this vlog I was like she is describing me to a”T”. I did see a drastic change in my skin. Well not drastic but I’ve always been told I look too young to have my children and I don’t get that as much since going into menopause. All of your skin care recommendations have helped so much. I always thought I should use anti-aging in my 30’s and I thought if I did it then then I could slow down the aging process as you said. Thank you again for the work you do.🥰 It’s a lot of info and time that I don’t take for granted. I feel like I’m in class 🤓when I watch you. I have paper and pen ready to take it all in. Sorry this is so long but for the love of God you are an Angel 😇

Would you please consider making a video on skin needs, changes and proper care in 40s?

I can't thank you enough! I'm a aesthetician, I just turned 50, I'm in perimenopause & I have literally just experienced the rapid decline in the structure of my skin the last 6-9 months. I knew that when u hit peri & full blown menopause that you lose estrogen and its affects of the skin.....I just didn't realize it was 30%. That's insane. I take really good care of my skin and use products that you have recommended and that have proven track records, but I'm definitely going to have to try emepelle. I love you, your channel, your honesty and I value your advice. Thanks again from NJ ❤

I have to take a pass on these Empelle products because my skin has decided it will be irritated by both HA and Niacinamide (WAH!) The only other MEP products I can find online are chock full of essential/fragrance oils so it is great that Empelle has made a much better formula available to consumers.

I learned years ago about bio identical hormones.. Which I believe every woman needs to do research about.. Ive been on it for a few years.. And I promise if you find a good naturopathic doctor who specializes in women’s health .. They will do a hormone panel get your history and find if you are a candidate for bio identical hormones.. You will stay younger and healthy and your skin will stay younger also.. along with your bones.. With exercise and a healthy lifestyle and good skincare.. Together it’s a game changer..

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Marlene DeLaTorre I agree with this so much....my best friend (and the Dr I work with) Is a naturopath...she’s amazing and I need to do that panel. I think this snuck up on me! 💜

Thank You for mentioning this! Definitely a possible “game changer” for peri/menopausal women! However, finding a good, knowledgeable, naturopathic provider (or possibly an “open minded” MD) is almost impossible for many people, depending on where they live! It’s Certainly worth it, to TRY finding one! Again, Thanks!

[@erinbreland9347]

Totally agree , I have done the same. I use a estrogen gel ( bioidentitcal ) and have an iud for the progesterone component needed. It’s a balancing act. Ladies , you have to study up on this stuff so you can be an advocate for your health care. Your dr will do what is good for them only . Only estrogen replacement can help your skin , bones , brain , etc. it protects against disease, the long term goal for me . All our body’s cells are used to estrogen so it doesn’t make sense that women avoid/ miss the opportunity for hormone replacement ????

I’m 44 too and I started seeing changes this year. Like crepe skin in my elbow crease when folding my arms.. didn’t ever think I’d be preoccupied with my arm crease of all things. I have been on HRT the last 4 yrs due to going into early chemical menopause. I am quite happy with it and many thinks have improved. My only gripe? Is the adhesive outlines from the patches I can never seem to remove completely.. be sure to ask for the clear patches as some of brands are foam and huge. Like wearing a pancake!

Believe it or not, I actually stumbled upon this estrogen related aging issue several years ago. One reason that I have always loved your channel is that you actually dig deep and study just like I do. I actually once wanted to be an aesthetician until my aesthetician told me that working with the women in my area was absolute torture LOL. I am so down to earth that I would not want to have to put up with the drama. Anyway, I can’t believe that I missed this video because this has always been a major topic that I discuss with my friends all the time. Testosterone also plays a role. Hormones regulate so much in our body. I respect your opinion more than any esthetician . I wish that you were here in my area . Thank you for the hard work . It’s such hard work digging through all the studies and determining what’s true and what’s not . Big hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 PS , I use Premarin cream ( very low dose ) for peri menopausal symptoms. But I want to switch to bioidentical because Premarin makes me nauseous sometimes. I was just noticing some skin that had become very thin on my body is now firmer suddenly after using the Premarin.

WHAT an important, informative video!!! I so wish I had had this information earlier in life. I didn't even THINK about the big M until I was totally in the throes of it. SUDDENLY--and I mean suddenly--I looked at myself and didn't recognize the face looking back at me. I did NONE of the preliminary protections and I got lucky that my skin isn't worse than it is. I still have the NIOD Superoxide Dismutase mist on my "list." :-) Also, those before and after photos and statistics on the Emepelle are impressive enough that that product is going on my birthday list.

I needed to revisit this video because I decided it’s time for me to try this product. Tretinoin and other actives have kept my wrinkles at bay (I’m 61) but I’m starting to see sagging skin and believe this is the best product to add to my skincare arsenal. In fact, I believe that this cream will actually save me money when I think of the actives that this cream will replace. I’m so glad you made this video. Thanks Penn! You’re my skincare cheerleader

Great informative video.... loved it! I’m 50 and don’t appear to be anywhere near menopause yet (dammit🙄). I’m certainly not rushing toward it, but seriously over the monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Anyway, I think it’s super important to be educated on what to expect and how to prepare for menopause. Last year I started watching Menopause Taylor on KZbin (originally known as Menopause Barbie). What an amazing resource! She’s a retired GYN specializing in menopause. In her videos she takes you thru ALL of your options for dealing with estrogen loss. The loss of estrogen does more than cause wrinkles. It leads to heart disease and dementia and bone loss. It’s crazy how important that hormone is! But I highly recommend checking out her channel. Of course she covers HRT, but she also offers multiple other options for people of different lifestyles and beliefs. She covers medical options, holistic options, natural medicines, etc... Because of her, I am so ready to tackle menopause.... now if it would just get here! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪😊

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Yes yes yes! I’m not rushing it either but I totally get what you’re saying! I agree 1000% that education is KEY in all aspects of menopause. SO much more than skin (wrinkles/sagging etc). I agree that that dang hormone is crucial to our health in so many ways. Thank you for the menopause Taylor recommendation!! 💜💜💜

This is so timely! You are so right. Perimenopausal affects on skin just sneak up on you. I am 51, have not had a period since January. From mid 2018 I was having super heavy, clotty periods and my skin was just so weird. I have been oily my whole life. My skin felt, rough, an odd combo of oily and dry, especially my cheeks. I ramped up my skincare routine, still need to do more and be more consistent, but things are getting better. I had an appt with my gynecologist and he’s checking my hormones. I may be using some type of HRT, that will be safe for me. I have hot flashes and sleep issues, so we are taking all that into consideration. I am going to read through these great links. I need to work on my diet and exercise too.

Hi! Happy Saturday! Glad I found you! I'm living down the Columbia Gorge now, my hubby lived in the Hollywood dist. I can't get the company to answer me about my Azelaic acid. It would be nice if they would just say there have been no studies on that, but for weeks....silence. Also, I was putting on my retin`A on first then Emepelle.....oops! Guess, I will switch. I haven't gotten the night one because I still have retinA. I love the light serum!!! And, hey gang, one bottle lasts almost 3 months! I'm deaf and my SSI is only 100 dollar a month! I had to use my stimmie check to shell out for a bottle ( choking all the way..it wasn't easy!) and, I noticed a difference within a week!! I just got a full hysterectomy at 58 years old and really didn't notice aging until after the surgery....and now here we go................wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... on the menopause train! LOL! It does help, ladies!!! And you don't gain 40 pounds like I did on HRT!!! More soon! Love your channel, gorgeous!!

Excellent video, Penny. I always took care of my skin since I was a teen. I stayed out of the sun and used sunscreen all the time. I started menopause in my late 40's and stepped up my skincare routine with it. I'm in my early 60's now and I absolutely love all your videos. I've added more serums and I started micro-needling (11 pin - monthly) with nano needling (weekly) in between. I'm also really excited about the updated chart you just mentioned. I've been following the one your suggested in your AM/PM video, and I am beginning to see real results; hallelujah! The past couple years have been really difficult for me. I lost people I loved, and it took its toll on me. I never had dark circles under my eyes before. Q: Do you have any suggestions for getting rid of dark circles under the eyes? Q: And, can you explain the purpose and usage of 'essences' in a skincare routine?

[@IntoBlackHouse]

Very interesting topic! I didn’t know about this kind of product. I’ll tell my mom. She had breast cancer and is adamant she doesn’t want to do anything with hormone treatments. I hope someday they can get the active ingredient in DIY online suppliers so women can make a cost effective body lotion and use it all ova’

I bought the Emepelle serum four months ago after watching a Dr. Dray video on it. I found it on sale for $140, which is still pricey, but better than $175. I am 52 and believe that my estrogen has been low for the last year (based on symptoms, haven't been tested in a few years), so this product sounded very interesting to me. I used the serum for almost a week and loved it. We were still in the covid-19 shutdown, and I was trying to use up some of my other products, so I stopped using. I had forgotten about this serum until I watched this video. Thank you for reminding me. I just got my Empelle serum back out and used it. I haven't used it long enough to see extra collagen production, but the serum gives my skin a nice healthy glow.

I am new to the game at 47. Just BAM! In the last year changes in my menstrual cycle (still having them tho) and with that changes in my skin. I feel like it was so dramatic. Sagging and enlarged gaping pores! Ugh! WTH! Maybe they had been happening in years prior and I just wasn't paying attention? Or was too busy with the kiddos to care. Hope it's not too late to try and add these products into my routine. Also, very difficult to tell your age!! You look great!

THANK YOU for this video! Although the product is expensive (I haven't decided if I'm willing to invest in it yet), I very much appreciate you addressing estrogen depletion and the effects on skin for the lady NOT able/willing to take HRT. I'm in the same situation as your mom but in my 40s. Chemo, surgical menopause and lack of estrogen has aged my skin 10 years! I would love to know the maintenance routines/schedule (besides daily serums, sunscreen and retinA) that you recommend for your mom/post menopause (in one video) - I'm sure mico-needling and other devices are part of that.

Sounds so interesting. I really hope for more research in women’s health. So many women are afraid of HRT thanks to flawed studies. I am intrigued by this product because estrogen low dose since 35 has totally saved my skin. I look 15 years younger than my 52. Looking forward to more info on this line.

[@amperage8032]

Lisa A hi Lisa, I’m the same age. Is estrogen the only thing you take? Do you figure it out on your own or have your levels checked regularly and dosage adjusted? Thank you.

[@lisaa9346]

amperage Any HRT will need to be prescribed. So no, I don’t figure it out on my own. I take progesterone too, 10 times/month. I used to check levels- but I really do not anymore as all it will say is that my estrogen is low. Even with the estrogen patch I use. You adjust based on symptoms. It’s not something that you take and wind up with too much estrogen. Usually doctors start you off low anyway. I like Menopause Barbie here on KZbin. She has excellent information. Estrogen protects your heart and bones. I have osteopenia which is another reason why I’ve been on estrogen. Talk to a gynecologist that deals mainly with menopause .

[@Shylade]

Yes I agree. The studies have shown cancer risk increased after the age of 65 AND had many years of HRT under their belt by that age. Someone would need to start HRT very early AND continue to use it till their much older. I’ve had to use HRT for the last 4 yrs since I went into chemical menopause. Had to have ovaries removed due to genetic test showing a mutation known for this type of cancer. It took my mom and I needed to be sure it didn’t take me. It slowed aging and reversed many other side effects. I’m grateful something positive had come out of the ordeal.
