For many women, the first sign of perimenopause isn't a hot flash. It's a moment in the mirror, when a new wrinkle or duller skin hints that something deeper is changing.

Dr. Corrine Erickson, "The Menopause Dermatologist" and Alloy Health's dermatology medical advisor, to explain why midlife skin can change in as little as 4 months. As sun damage collides with estrogen decline, hydration drops, collagen thins, and dark spots linger. Start reading your skin as a vital sign, and let what you see in the mirror guide how you care for your whole body.

What we explore: - How perimenopause skin changes show up fast, and why wrinkles reveal collagen loss in skin and bone. - What a simple 2–3 product skincare routine for menopause looks like. - How facial estriol and copper peptides rebuild collagen and hydration. - Why diet, sugar, and strength training affect how your skin ages.

About Dr. Corrine Erickson: Dr. Corinne Erickson is a dermatologist and the dermatology medical advisor for Alloy Health, bringing an integrative, whole-woman approach to midlife skin and hair. She has proposed the pilocutaneous syndrome of menopause (PSM) to give women language for the visible changes of perimenopause, and she reminds every patient that it's more than okay to ask about her skin, her hair, and how she feels in the mirror.
