Why Your Skin Changes When Life Does — with Lisa Harris

Why does our skin seem to change so much as we move through our 40s, 50s and beyond — and how do we know which treatments are worth our time and money? In this episode of Inside-Out Connections, I sit down with skin expert Lisa Harris, who brings more than 30 years of experience across skin, holistic therapies and advanced skin technology. We talk about what happens to our skin as we age, particularly through perimenopause and menopause, when changes in collagen, hydration, sensitivity and skin recovery can leave many of us wondering why the products and treatments we once relied on no longer seem to work. Lisa helps cut through some of the noise around modern skin treatments, from radiofrequency and LED to lasers, microcurrent and electroporation, and explains why she believes the best approach is progressive rather than aggressive. We also explore the other side of skin health — fascia, lymphatic drainage, massage, movement, stress, lifestyle and the traditional holistic practices Lisa still uses alongside modern technology. What We Cover • What happens to collagen, elastin, hydration and skin recovery as we age • Why perimenopause and menopause can change our skin so dramatically • Radiofrequency, LED, lasers, microcurrent and electroporation • Which professional treatments Lisa believes are worth investing in • At-home LED masks and beauty devices — what to look for before buying • Why more aggressive treatments aren’t always better • Botox and the non-invasive alternatives Lisa uses in her clinic • Peptides and supporting the skin barrier • Why Lisa believes fascia, lymphatic drainage and facial massage matter • Gua sha, Kansa wands and using facial tools correctly • Why our neck, shoulders, posture and facial tension can influence how our face looks • Whether complicated skincare routines are necessary • Skin through our 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond • The role of stress, movement, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing in skin health • Why it’s never too late to start supporting your skin One of my favourite reminders from this conversation is that ageing doesn’t mean giving up on our skin. It’s about understanding what our skin needs at the stage of life we’re in, working with it rather than against it, and remembering that consistency often matters more than chasing the latest trend.
