Hello and welcome to Best Quality Designer Handbag 's first Ask Me Anything since it launched its comments section earlier this month. I'm consultant dermatologist Dr Ellie Rashid and on Wednesday 4 March at 1pm GMT I will be live answering all your questions on menopause skincare. So whether your curious about collagen, furious about frown lines or freaked out by formication, then you won't want to miss it.

First, a bit about me! I am a practising consultant dermatologist at OneWelbeck Skin Health and Allergy, hold a key leadership position at a top London NHS hospital, and am an honorary senior lecturer at King’s College London. I have a PhD in regenerative dermatology and am dedicated to helping people achieve healthy skin through honest, evidence-based education. 

When it comes to menopause skincare, honesty and evidence-based solutions are sometimes in short supply as brands and social media influencers bombard women with an array of products and advice all promising to solve midlife skin woes. In this live Q&A I will aim to cut through the hype and leave you feeling less bamboozled and more confident. Perhaps you’ve been considering cosmetic tweakments but aren’t sure where to start? Or maybe you’re wondering why you still get hormonal breakouts when you thought clear skin would be one of the perks of getting older? Whatever it is, if it relates to menopause skincare, you can quite literally ask me anything...
