Women’s faces hit a landslide at 45
It’s like we woke up one day and everything was different. Just a couple of years ago, our skin was holding up pretty well — now, at 45, we barely recognize our reflection.
Suddenly, there’s this deep-set fatigue in our faces, and the dark creases near our mouths aren’t shadows — they’re actual discoloration. I suspect hormones are involved, since this all seemed to appear right alongside other lovely signs of perimenopause.
I’ve recently started on estradiol and progesterone, and while it’s only been about a month, I’m cautiously hopeful it might help things stabilize over time.
Still, I can’t help but wonder: has anyone else experienced something similar around this age? Did anything help — topically or otherwise? Or maybe I just care too much about how I look? I’m open to any advice, experiences, or even just solidarity. 😮💨
