655: Vaginal Cream on Your Face? The Surprising Benefits of Estrogen in Skincare

Estrogen Skincare, Vaginal Creams, Breast Cancer - Join us in this week's Five Minute Friday as Dr. Kay discusses the emerging trend of using estrogen-based skincare, particularly the unconventional use of vaginal creams on the face to combat the signs of aging! We explain the role of estrogen in skin health, highlighting its impact on increasing collagen production, skin elasticity, and hydration, especially for perimenopausal women. Dr. Kay reviews studies showing that topical estrogen can significantly improve skin quality without systemic absorption, thus posing minimal risk for breast cancer. Potential side effects such as melasma are possible, hence why we emphasize the importance of consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatments and of course, doing your research. Tune in to find out how to maintain youthful skin and overall vitality with estrogen skincare!
