As women age, particularly in the time leading up to, during and after menopause, oestrogen levels naturally decline. This has a major effect on the body, but reduced oestrogen levels also have a significant impact on the structure and functions of the skin
Oestrogen boosts collagen and elastin production and impacts epidermal thickness and hydration levels.
Oestrogen works in the skin by activating oestrogen receptors in key skin cells; fibroblasts and keratinocytes to produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and new skin cells.
Menopause significantly accelerates skin ageing due to a decline in oestrogen levels and a subsequent decrease in oestrogen receptors.
Lower levels of oestrogen lead to increased:
DRYNESS
DULLNESS
THINNING
WRINKLING
Oestrogen plays critical role in maintaining optimal skin health and appearance
