Hormones can have a profound effect on the skin. Hormonal changes in adolescence can trigger the development of acne. In girls, Acne may fluctuate with hormonal levels over the course of the month. Some women find that taking birth control pills, which regulate hormones, can help control acne. Later on in life, during perimenopause (a time in which women start producing much less estrogen) until her periods stop entirely (menopause), the skin is also prone to changes.


Your hormones don’t just control how you feel — they can impact the health of your skin, too. With a quick Google search, you’ll find many articles promising that a "hormone reset" (via things like diet changes or supplements) will improve your skin health. But most often their claims are largely unfounded.


In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Keira Barr.


Dr Keira Barr believes that going through menopause shouldn’t mean you have to push pause on feeling comfortable, and confident in your skin. As a dual-board certified dermatologist, global speaker and best- selling author, she founded the Resilient Health Institute and created “The Skinny Dipping Method” to help midlife women strip away the fatigue, stress and shame surrounding menopause and uncover the secrets to making midlife the best time of their life.


As a former Assistant Clinical Professor at UC Davis in the departments of dermatology and pathology, advisor to numerous start-ups, author and editorial reviewer of multiple leading medical journals, Dr Barr passionately bridges the gap between the latest evidence-based research and an integrative approach to health. She turns conventional methodologies on their heads, blending science with the soul to bring an innovative and compassionate approach to women’s health and skincare.


Her book, “The Skin Whisperer,” blends her medical expertise with cognitive science and her own health journey, creating a framework to support readers on a journey towards self-discovery, self-love and creating resilient health. Dr Barr’s expertise has been featured on national tv, radio, podcasts as well as popular outlets including MindBodyGreen, Insider, Reader’s Digest, Glamour, SELF, and Oprah magazine.
