Perimenopause can start to bring some noticeable changes in the skin, including dryness, wrinkles, and itchiness. Estrogen helps with collagen production and promotes water retention in the skin. And as levels of this hormone begin to decline during menopause, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin.
With HRT and proper dermatology products, you can start increasing collagen production to maintain a youthful appearance, see skin improvements, and prevent long-term irreversible skin changes.
Many of the changes that happen on the skin with age are due to decreased hormones, lifestyle habits like smoking, and environmental factors like sun exposure. The hormones that decline with menopause can be replaced with HRT, making it an effective solution to reverse these structural changes and improve overall skin health.
