Menopause and Dry Skin: The Hormone Connection

Yes, menopause can definitely wreak havoc with your skin! Check out this article from WebMD.com. Be aware, too, that thyroid imbalances can also make your skin very dry (believe me, I speak from experience on this one!), so always make sure you are getting your thyroid checked by your healthcare provider (and if he/she blows you off about thyroid balance, find a new doctor!)
