Estrogen Cream Changed My Face In 90 Days CRAZY RESULTS! Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 this cream a cream that traditionally we use down there and I'm using it up here if you've been searching for an anti-aging solution something that's backed by science super effective and very affordable and perfectly safe look no further in today's episode I'm going to share with you a topical treatment that's been traditionally used as a vaginal cream which is now being applied to the face to the under eyes to the back of the skin on our hands and our neck and producing insane results I I've
• 00:30 - 01:00 been using it myself for 90 days and I'm going to share with you my results what I think of this product where you can find it the safety and efficacy as well as some of the studies and research that I think you need to know about so that you can make an informed decision I'm also going to share with you my new skincare routine which is really scaled back I'm not using nearly as many products you'll actually see the before and afters you can decide for yourself if there's been a significant change I think there has but I'll let you be the judge
• 01:00 - 01:30 thanks for joining me here today on the shellene show I am excited to talk about this topic it's one that I learned of from listening to an episode of you are not broken with Dr Kelly casperson she was interviewing another doctor Dr Ellen gendler and they were speaking specifically about the role of estrogen in our bodies they talked about why it is so often when estrogen begins to decline the role that estrogen plays in our bodies in terms of our hair hair our
• 01:30 - 02:00 collagen production our skin and our appearance and why so many women you know you hit like your mid 40s and you're like overnight you feel like you look older in that episode she discussed how she had been using Dr Ellen had been using vaginal estrogen cream on her face for years and swore by it why should you not be using this on your face you use it in your vagina and it seems to work there so why would you not use it on areas of your face it made a lot of
• 02:00 - 02:30 sense to me and 25 years ago I started using it on myself I think that the areas on which I've used it are really pretty good and would not have been as good in my opinion so then they they kind of went into the science behind it I started looking into some of the research myself and just last month a brand new study was produced that I just think lends even more credibility to this practice first I think it's really important to understand how estrogen affects our body and more specifically
• 02:30 - 03:00 what happens when estrogen begins to decline so when we're in our late 20s early teens estrogen is really high it's responsible for our fertility our menstrual cycle it's what makes the skin look full and plump and radiant as we enter into our 30s late 30s early 40s estrogen begins to take a dip and of course this this is a period that a lot of women experience per menopause so your estrogen levels can kind of be like a roller coaster r
• 03:00 - 03:30 you probably remember in that stage of your life waking up in one days you're like oh my gosh I'm having such a good face day and then other days you're like why do I look so ugly do you remember those days and then when we reach our late 40s early 50s we're really seeing a significant decline in estrogen gives you an indication of what that decline in estrogen looks like so by the time we hit our late 40s early 50s and you're likely entering into menopause estrogen is out the door it's interesting I don't
• 03:30 - 04:00 know if you've ever felt this way I have where you just wake up one day and you're like wait a second how did I just get like 5 years older overnight and you wonder like is this in my mind is it something that I've done well interestingly enough there are studies that show it's not in your head girl it's a legitimate thing we age in significant like physically not number-wise like our appearance we we have major dips in our appearance around
• 04:00 - 04:30 just before age 45 and just around the late 50s and that is due in large part to these dramatic dips in our estrogen when our estrogen dips we produce less collagen in the first five years of menopause your collagen production drops 30% 30% that's insane and your collagen is what is responsible for your Skin's fullness for your Skin's thickness for the elasticity that we experience for that youthful full appearance collagen
• 04:30 - 05:00 is what makes skin firm so as you're losing this collagen it's not in your mind that you're like is my skin changing I specifically remember looking down at my I was like putting lotion on my thighs and I remember thinking to myself like whose skin is this this is like maybe four or five years ago maybe three years ago I just I remember like being in my bathroom and going did this happen overnight that's when I discovered castor oil now I'm still a huge fan of castor oil and castor oil is
• 05:00 - 05:30 amazing it is really thick well it holds all the moisture in I love castor oil for that reason and I've done a whole bunch of videos and episodes about castor oil it it's got a learning curve not everyone loves it but I bathe in it but despite that castor oil is never going to make my skin thicker castor oil is not going to produce more collagen what I need to produce more collagen is estrogen so for those of you who are doing some type of hormone replacement
• 05:30 - 06:00 therapy maybe you're doing a sublingual estrogen like you're taking it orally if you're taking an oral estrogen that is in fact going to boost your collagen it is going to replenish those things that you otherwise would be losing and I've done a whole bunch of episodes you know I don't want to like talk about this in every single episode but maybe I should and that is like the science ladies we've got to spread the word you've got to send this to your friends anytime you get together with your girlfriend Friends start talking
• 06:00 - 06:30 about hormones and how the new research is showing us that we're going to live longer and we have a a much lower risk of getting Cancer all types of cancer of dying of any type of preventable disease if we can get on hormone replacement therapy earlier instead of later and it's never too late so if you're watching this and you're 65 or 70 it it's still it's not too late to consider certain forms of hormone replacement therapy it's going to give you stronger bones it's going to give you a better heart a better brain all the things and
• 06:30 - 07:00 so if you're concerned with longevity you should be considering hormone replacement therapy and and for a lot of us you know what's going on the inside is great but it's the outside sometimes that like puts us in a good mood you know what I'm saying like call me shallow I don't care I am I care about my appearance I like looking young because I feel young and I want the inside to match the outside so shoot me I care about the way that my skin looks and I'm in a better mood when I'm having a good skin day and so when I started
• 07:00 - 07:30 looking at the research behind collagen I'm like well I'm taking an estrogen supplement and I checked with my practitioner and she's like yeah know your estrogen levels are great and I'm like so then would it benefit me to use estrogen cream on my face and and why is it I would need that if my estrogen levels you know systemically are fine and here's what I learned when we apply estrogen cream topically so whether that's a patch or or a cream it affects
• 07:30 - 08:00 the area where it's applied and that is why some women when their estrogen declines even if they're doing a hormone therapy they may still experience dryness and thinning of the skin in the vaginal area which is going to result in very painful uncomfortable sex you know dryness and thinning of the tissues and the the tissues actually become how do I say this uh less plump I guess is the best way to put it like full like
• 08:00 - 08:30 sagging sagging skin is the result of low collagen and low estrogen so when we add estrogen topically to the vaginal area it keeps things plump and moist and firm and it makes the skin thicker now the vaginal mucosus I hate the word mucosus did I just say the word mucosus Excuse me while I go throw up like I can I can say vaginal but like mucosus that word anyways that area the
• 08:30 - 09:00 skin is much thinner and much more fragile much more sensitive obviously than other areas so imagine if we're putting estrogen cream in other places and this is what people were trying to figure out and you know probably by accident before we actually had official studies I'm sure people were like hey if this stuff works down there why don't I just try it up here and that's what happened and what they discovered is yeah this stuff wherever you applied it topically it would improve the appearance of the skin substantially in one of the studies people who applied
• 09:00 - 09:30 the topical treatment of the estrogen cream for 12 weeks the women reported an 88% Improvement what 88% sign me up wait guess what time it is it is time for me to invite you to become a subscriber and to say thank you to those of you who are subscribers who leave comments so shout out to Patrick plumber who always leaves me the sweetest the nicest the most uplifting comments Patrick you are a gem I also

• 10:00 - 10:30 free anyways back to your face in 2019 a study published by the international Journal of women's Dermatology researchers found that estrogen deficient skin showed a sharp decline in collagen production hydration and the ability to heal quickly now you may have noticed if you're over 40 like you can get a wound or maybe you have an incision and you're like I just am not healing as fast as I once did I noticed that myself I had a surgery last year
• 10:30 - 11:00 and I was like I I can't believe how much slower my skin is healing compared to how fast it used to recover in 2023 a systematic review published in the Journal of menopausal medicine showed that estrogen treatment in the form of creams topical creams helped to restore collagen elasticity reduce the appearance of wrinkles and significantly improve the overall appearance of skin okay so maybe you already have estrogen cream uh that been using for the vaginal
• 11:00 - 11:30 area and you're thinking like can I just apply this to my face well hold on I'm certainly not your doctor I'm not your practitioner I'm not your clinician so I can't give you the go-ahead for that but I can tell you a little bit more about the types of creams that we found to be most beneficial for the face and I'll tell you about the cream that I've been using and talk to you about like how to get this stuff because when I first heard this interview with Dr Kelly I was like I right away went straight to Amazon which I always tell you not to do but of course was I was leaving for
• 11:30 - 12:00 Europe so I'm like I have to get my hands on this stuff like right now because I want a younger face I like literally part of my like eye openening experience while I was in Europe was I I felt like my face was getting like overnight it felt old I'll talk about that in a minute but like part of what I decided to do was the estrogen cream it's also one of the reasons why I decided to to give up alcohol is because I was reading the research on like what that does to your skin and the aging process and like for vanity Reasons I'm like
• 12:00 - 12:30 maybe like this will help me to look younger and and that was the main reason why I gave up drinking alcohol at first anyways before I go into that let's talk about the different types of estrogen cream you could be using on your face so estrogen is a group of hormones so there's estone there's estradi and there's estriol now all of them are a little bit different and we produce them at different times in our life and they serve different purposes but typically and traditionally it is estrad that is used as a vaginal cream in a 0
• 12:30 - 13:00 one% application you do need to have that prescribed by your practitioner now if you don't have a practitioner in your area or someone that you have access to who specifically trained and and specializes in women's hormone Health find somebody find someone who's up toate someone who will actually listen and frankly it is my hope that that changes soon there are some alternativ one that I recommend all
• 13:00 - 13:30 the time is midi Health midi health is a tele Health company it is the company and the reason why I've asked them to I asked if they would be a show sponsor for the shellene show is because of this experience so I couldn't get into my my traditional hormone Doctor Who I love by the way but I do pay for her all out of pocket and I couldn't get into her before our trip to Europe so I was trying to find a teleah health company that I could get into very quickly I heard Dr Kelly casperson and Dr Mary
• 13:30 - 14:00 Clair Haver talking about this company so I'm like all right it's reputable I called them I got the cream sent to me and I did a 90-day Supply so I'm going to share with you my results after 90 days but again back to the types of creams used on the face estral tends to be a it's it's considered a stronger estrogen there's also estriol estral is a a less potent estrogen so some people feel like that's a safer estrogen to
• 14:00 - 14:30 apply topically if you're someone who's worried about your systemic meaning like your whole body estrogen levels increasing what we do know based on these recent studies is that when they study participants who are applying the estrogen cream and they're measuring their estrogen levels before and after as well as women who are not using the cream what they found in these studies is that it does not produce a notable increase in estrogen levels in other
• 14:30 - 15:00 words what they're saying is when you apply it to your face or apply it any anywhere topically it affects the area where you're applying it and it doesn't go into the bloodstream and pass through the liver in fact the form of estrogen known as estriol the weaker form of estrogen is considered to be the safer form for anyone who's you know really concerned about increasing their systemic estrogen levels again you know I want you to do your research uh I I am not the expert but I want to share with
• 15:00 - 15:30 you the research links and so they will be below in my show notes so you can you can go to those research papers you can print them out yourself you can review them yourself you can put them in chat gbt and ask chat gbt to do a summary for you and you can bring that to your healthc care provider and offer that as like okay I feel good about this and and have a conversation with your provider about this I know for me when I started using this cream I started noticing a
• 15:30 - 16:00 significant difference probably within about three weeks however to be completely transparent I do think I do see major changes in my face and my skin I do I don't know if you do but I will say it's quite possible that is a combination of both the cream and the fact that I stopped drinking alcohol like you know I did them both at the same time so it's hard to say did I I think probably both things helped but if you take a look at the before and after photos of people and the the notations
• 16:00 - 16:30 from these studies of people's skin and the appearance it seems to make a huge difference and why wouldn't it it naturally improves the thickness the firmness and your body's ability to hold moisture okay now let's talk about cost the cost for estrogen cream is really low which is fantastic and it's super affordable especially when you're looking at the fact that most high-end facial creams I mean you can spend $120 for you know one month supply which
• 16:30 - 17:00 is kind of crazy when the the estrogen cream you can get it anywhere from 30 to maybe $40 for a uh one month supply I did a 30-day Supply and the one that I got this one is a compounded version this is estriol as well as hyaluronic acid and dmea so it has all three of those components all of which improve the appearance of of your skin so I mean this is this is kind of like three products in it's not just the estal
• 17:00 - 17:30 estriol but um I'm really happy with the results I am interested in just trying the estra dial so I am going to look into doing that for my next uh 90-day Supply again I I used mine through midi Health I'll post a link to them Below in our show notes now if you're not familiar with midi Health this is a company that was founded by women and they specifically specialize in women's health so when you get on the call with your clinic they're actually first of
• 17:30 - 18:00 all take the time to fill out the questionnaires even just filling out the questionnaires you're going to realize like oh wow there's so many things I didn't think about that could be related to my hormones and I always recommend before you do a doctor's appointment or meet with a new clinician a health care provider of any kind come prepared have a list of questions go back through your own notes to see what symptoms you've been experiencing try to like ask your significant other like if I complained about anything weird happening cuz
• 18:00 - 18:30 sometimes we forget you know and you you sit down in front of somebody with a white lab coat on you're like I can't remember why I'm here and if I have any issues so take some time and prepare in advance but when you meet with your your midi clinician you're going to find that they will actually listen and they're going to take the time to follow your lead so if there's something in particular they're they're not necessarily going to recommend this to you or anything for that matter you need
• 18:30 - 19:00 to be your own advocate so know what it is you want know what it is you're looking for know it is what symptoms you want to address um talk to them about different things that you've been hearing about that you would like to try you know even if you're considering weight loss like I know a lot of people are very interested in peptides for weight loss whether it's a glp1 or doing a different type of peptide that could help with inflammation it is important that you have your questions well researched and
• 19:00 - 19:30 written down before you meet with your clinician I think you're GNA have a great time with your midi clinician and I think this is a wonderful solution for those of you who are like I can't find somebody in my area number one or if I found someone they don't take insurance and I'm not saying that midi takes all Insurance because I've heard there a few people have said like oh they didn't take my kind but they take most insurance and they're in all 50 states so I highly recommend them back to the skincare that I use this is what I tried and next time I'm going to try just the straight estra dial and see if I see a difference this is by prescription only
• 19:30 - 20:00 so you will need to work with a healthc care provider in order to get it now I want to share with you my current skincare routine because I have scaled it way back and I started scaling it way back after the interview that I did with Dr Anthony Yun I'll link to that so you can watch it because it was phenomenal he is well he's everybody's favorite and I think part of the reason why is he's from Michigan and the nicest people are from Michigan it's it's called Midwest
• 20:00 - 20:30 nice so here's my skincare routine now I use a cleanser in the morning and at night this is a gentle cleanser and in fact this is Dr yun's cleanser and I will tell you what I told him I said Anthony this is a bad business decision for you he said why I said because I've had this now for six months and I still have like this this is going to last me a year and the prices are great so shout out to Anthony Yun I love this particular um cleanser so I use this in the morning and at night okay then after
• 20:30 - 21:00 I use that in the morning I just put on a vitamin C serum your vitamin C serum it's really important that it's in a dark glass container so that it you don't compromise the effectiveness of it after that I put on some estrogen cream on my face and just a little bit a tiny little bit of castor oil I love castor oil not everybody loves it I love it love it love it I love the smell of it I love the feel of it I love how it holds the moisture in nothing has
• 21:00 - 21:30 helped my overall skin dryness the way because I'm not dousing my whole body in this estrogen cream although I'm wondering like why don't we just do a full body cream of this maybe that's down the road I don't know why aren't we doing that anyways right now it's just on my face my hands back of my hands and my neck but this stuff I sleep in it like I douse myself in this but don't forget castor oil has a learning curve it is very thick it takes a lot longer
• 21:30 - 22:00 to absorb into your skin it doesn't clog the pores so it's wonderful if you you're someone who's like worried about breaking out usually people don't have any problems with breaking out with it I'm just a huge fan of the Castoro but I use just the tiniest little bit on my face and that's my morning routine that's it at night I cleanse my face again I don't put on the vitamin C I just put on a little bit of this and I use a little bit of castor oil and I use the castor oil at night to do my lymphatic face massage which I believe
• 22:00 - 22:30 helps to reduce inflammation but nothing helps to reduce facial inflammation like removing toxins the worst thing you can do for your skin is smoke you know that right I you listen I was once a Hostess in uh at the Forest Hills Inn in Grand R Michigan I was a Hostess and back then we smoked in people smoked in the restaurants and someone could be walking towards the hosta stand and I
• 22:30 - 23:00 owe I didn't even have to say smoking or non-smoking I could look at them and I knew if they needed a smoking section just by looking at their skin because smoking you it changes the appearance of your skin you can look side by side at twins they do these studies all the time where you show twins you know one person's a smoker and one person who's not like it ages your skin it creates free radicals by the way speaking of free radicals what are free radicals sounds like a a radical group free radicals are basically the byproducts of the toxins and other things that we
• 23:00 - 23:30 consume and they're the byproducts that create DNA damage it's the things that damage our cells and our bodies are built to fight off these free radicals estrogen fights off these free radicals except when estrogen leaves the building in which case you might need to supplement so you've got something to fight off those free radicals the other thing that is absolutely a killer for your skin that makes you look older is alcohol I know you don't want to hear
