Skin changes are one of the most visible — and often frustrating — parts of hormonal shifts in midlife. In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, Dr. Heidi sits down with skincare formulator and beauty entrepreneur May Lindstrom to talk about what really happens to skin during perimenopause and menopause, and how women can care for it without falling into the trap of hype-driven beauty trends.

Known for her cult-followed botanical skincare line and products like the iconic Blue Cocoon balm, May built her brand around deeply sourced ingredients, intentional rituals, and a philosophy that skincare should nourish both the skin and the nervous system.
