How Menopause Affects Skin
Every woman will go through menopause, usually in her early to mid-50s.
It causes symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings.
Menopause can affect your skin more.
How hormones affect your skin: When menopause occurs,
the body experiences a drop in production of the female hormone estrogen.
Estrogen and Aging: Since the face contains estrogen receptors, the skin
on the face is particularly vulnerable to the effects of estrogen reduction.
The benefit of estrogen to a woman outweighs the risk in a healthy person
without a known link to breast cancer.
Tips to keep your skin healthy during menopause:
* Wear sunscreen daily.
* Keep your body and skin hydrated.
* Wash your face with cold water.
* Drink lot of water.
