Richard Parker is the founder of Rationale and a cosmetic chemist who has spent more than thirty years studying human skin, how it protects itself, how it repairs, and what shifts when hormones do.

What NOT to do to midlife skin, including the step most women add when they should be taking one away
What oestrogen was quietly doing for your skin, and what stops when it goes
Why your skin behaved itself for forty years then it suddenly turns dry, reactive, or starts breaking out again
Pigmentation, thinning and loss of firmness: what genuinely moves the needle, and what is a waste of money
The sun damage you got in your twenties that surfaces now, and what still makes a difference
How to read a label: the claims that mean nothing, and the ones worth paying for
