It is estimated that almost half of women experience skin issues during menopause. Reduced production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and increased production of cortisol during this period are responsible for the inevitable skin changes that women face.
Some things we might notice:
- Dryness and Itching
- Delicate skin
- Acne
- Flushing
- Facial hair
- Melasma
- Facial changes
The itching was insane before I started HRT, it’s a lot better now. My hair, however, has decided to get nice beachy waves? Not that I’m complaining!
