How to Use Topical Estrogen in an Anti-Aging Skincare Routine | Dr. Sam Ellis

I recently posted a video about topical estrogen and it's benefits in the fight against some of the more common signs of menopause like facial volume loss and crepey skin. There were SO many good questions in the comments section from you all that I have come back with a FAQ-style video all about topical estrogen and how to use it in an anti-aging routine. I hope this topical estrogen 101 will give you all the tools you need to decide if this treatment might be right for you. Thank you to Alloy for partnering with me to make this video.
