If you’re waking up puffy and tired even when you’re NOT—perimenopause is messing with more than just your cycle.
After having my son, my hormones were chaos. Puffy eyes, dull skin, dry AND oily at the same time. I didn’t recognise myself in the mirror. The same hormonal fluctuations happen during perimenopause.
Here’s what’s really going on:
Dropping estrogen weakens your skin barrier + slows your lymphatic system. Cortisol spikes, causing water retention. Fluid gets TRAPPED in your face—especially around your eyes.
You can’t out-cream hormonal inflammation.
Here’s what I do now (takes 5 minutes):
✨ Gua Sha BEFORE coffee – Stimulates sluggish lymph flow when estrogen drops.
✨ Bone broth in your latte – Collagen + glycine depuff from the inside and plump declining collagen.
✨ Lymph drainage massage (2 min) – Drains trapped fluid. Game-changer for puffy eyes.
✨ Ice face before makeup – Reduces cortisol-driven puffiness, preps skin for glow.
Most perimenopausal women try expensive serums, patches, or Botox—and still look exhausted.
Because you can’t fix sluggish lymph with cream. And finding truly clean products that won’t irritate your compromised barrier? Frustrating and expensive.
That’s why I created my Holiday Skin Rescue system—lymphatic techniques + toxin-free skincare that actually WORKS for hormonal skin.
No harsh chemicals. No 10-step routines. Just results.
