Watch as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down exactly how hormone shifts in your 30s and 40s can change your skin — and what you can do about it.
From surprise breakouts to dry patches, increased sweating, and those first signs of aging — your skin is responding to real hormonal changes during this phase of life.
In this video, you'll learn:
✅ What hormones (like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol) do to your skin
✅ Why you're breaking out around your jawline — again
✅ Why your skin feels drier, more sensitive, or itchier than before
✅ What causes melasma and pigmentation shifts
✅ How hormonal changes affect sweat production and odor
✅ The real reason your wrinkles seem more noticeable now
✅ What actually works — from skincare to professional treatments
🧴 Products & Ingredients Mentioned
– Salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide for hormonal acne
– Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for dryness
– Vitamin C and azelaic acid for pigmentation
– Retinols I recommend for collagen support
— Omnilux Contour Face
– Clinical-strength antiperspirants + Botox for sweat concerns
🩺 When to See a Dermatologist
Skip the guessing. If your skin isn’t responding to over-the-counter products, or you're noticing worsening pigmentation or sweat changes — your dermatologist can help with a customized treatment plan that works with your hormones and lifestyle.

Morning!

Happy Monday
Happy Monday guys enjoy
Happy Monday
Excellent timing ! I’m post menopausal and having such reactive skin, wrinkles like you say almost overnight, rosacea and cystic like acne / papules. Thanks so much, Dr. Dray 💙💙💙
Seriously breaking out so bad in thirties very mild acne in tennage n twenties 😢
Happy Monday! Very interesting video, thank you! ❤️ I’m in my 70’s so I can relate to everything!
It’s so helpful how you keep breaking down and sharing all the different perspectives and angles on skin — it really makes the mechanisms you share again so much easier to understand, even for someone without a background. Thanks so much!🌺
Think I started following the channel in 2019 about 7 years and from what I’ve learned my skin is better than it was in 2015 tis crazy! Thank You!☕️🙏☀️
X2 .. every time people compliment on my skin and ask what I’ve done, I always say… I watch Dr. Dray on YouTube. Hahah
@@Youcancallmeclau👍🏻
This video is describing the last 15 years of my life. 😂 Anyone else? Great info as always! Thank you. Have a great Monday everyone!
Thank you. I started jawline breakouts this year when I turned 40, so this is quite timely information.
Greetings Dr. Dray, catching up with your latest videos. Looking great!!! ❤ The other day I watch a video of a so called Doctor saying that he would NEVER wear sunscreen and Vaseline.. I tagged you because I thought that was a joke, but his comment section was SCARY. What I don’t understand is how come these so called doctors can say these things? Why are they so against it? … I’ve been following you for years, every advice you have given, I’ve followed, and my skin thanks to you has never been better than ever, but I have been lucky to find you first, I don’t think those people in his comment section are quite that lucky…
Dr Dray has done reaction videos (check her playlist) on things like that. Lab Muffin is a great resource for rebuttal videos on those subjects.
Yay Dr Dray, thank you for this video!!! KEEP GOING into the 50s & 60s. 🙋🏻♀️🩶
The DIM supplement really helped clear me up after age 40, plus cutting gluten and dairy, now my skin looks the best it’s ever looked (I’m in my late 40s)!
Turned 49 this year and had to start using benzoyl peroxide regularly 😭
Happy Monday Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I developed Rosacea in the last three years an now I am 46 years old. Presciption strenght Azelaic acid and adapalene helps me a lot. Sunscreen and gentle skincare products are helpful as well. Dr. Dray style! 😅 Give me all the mineral oils and parabens! My skin loves them! Fragrance and most plant oils: instant breakouts and flushes for me 🙄
My skin was at its worst when I was in my thirties and forties. Things have finally calmed down. I attribute that to what I’ve learned from you and finding a skin care routine that works for me. Also, switching to all fragrance free products has helped too. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. 💖
I’m on Accutane for the first time at age 32. Best thing I’ve ever done!
Am 76 and have acne for the first time in my life 🫣
