Oh Honey Bun, you had me giggling so early on a Monday morning, not a bad thing at all mind! I just picture you with a nice little Oestrogen patch over a strategic, stray wrinkle lol!!
I would also be a bit hesitant about just using randon Oestrogen in my face cream but as I said, the little miniscule bit that is left over after I have done my rubbing in, I usually just wipe off on my neck and face, it has never caused pigmentation, but then cannot think that it would as I have a fair amount circulating in my body already, remember Oestrogel sort of builds up, until you get an ideal level circulating in your system, I guess too much could cause pigmentation, but think that was more linked to the Progesterone, not sure really!
Overall, my hair and skin seem to be ok, I have never been blessed with thick hair but the hair loss does seem a bit better since I went onto the Gel. What I am pretty sure of though is, had I not chosen to take any HRT, my skin would have looked a damn side older!
I got very excited about the cellulite story, but sadly, I have not noticed that it has helped that side of things. I also massage it into my butt area sometimes, plenty of fat there to take it up lol!
