If you’ve ever thought, "What is happening to my face?," this episode gives you the science and solutions to finally understand it.
From crepey skin to jawline shifts to hair that’s suddenly thinning, midlife changes can feel confusing and frustrating. Most women don’t know what’s really going on, or what to do about it.In this episode, Tamsen sits down with one of the country’s top dermatologists, Dr. Doris Day, to break down what’s actually happening to your skin, face, and hair and how to take care of them in your 40s and beyond.
Dr. Day has been seeing patients for over 30 years. She’s helped develop some of the world’s top skincare products and brings practical, science-backed solutions that actually work. She’ll explain why your skin feels different, what to avoid when it comes to filler, and how to spot early signs of perimenopause on your face before any other doctor does.
They talk about:
- Why your skin texture is changing and what’s really behind it
- What causes thinning hair and what helps
- The truth about under-eye filler and why it can make you look older
- The skincare routine Dr. Day gives her patients in their 40s and beyond
- How strength training impacts collagen and skin quality
- What "filler fatigue" is and how to avoid looking overdone
This isn’t about trying to look 25. It’s about working with your face, not against it and feeling confident in your skin again.
