If your skin has become dry, extra sensitive, or you’re suffering from acne during midlife, this could be down to menopause. But there are things that can help – and for this week’s episode, we’re joined by THE skincare expert to reveal all…
Dr Naomi Potter is joined by skincare expert and bestselling author Caroline Hirons (aka the “Queen of skincare”) for a funny, no-fluff conversation about menopause skin changes.
