“But I want to know, at 44 years old, are any of you lovely ladies out there having worse hormonal spot and pigment issues – the older you get, the worse it seems?
“Day two of my menstrual cycle and I just erupt in spot after spot after spot. I have a very strict facial routine, so my skin is really looked after.
“I’ve never had any Botox or filler. I was just wondering if anyone else has this? Or am I just in denial I’m on my way to the menopause motorway?”
