How does estrogen help skin look younger?
A. Estrogen increases collagen production a protein that affects the moisture content, thickness and tone of our skin. More than 70% of the thickness of skin is due to collagen. After menopause, our skin begins to lose collagen. As a result, the skin’s elasticity, softness and texture can change. By increasing the amount of collagen in our skin, estrogen helps slow the process of skin sagging.
