17 Aug Are Hormones Responsible for My Aging Skin?

What should I do about my aging skin? The advance in years may be the biggest culprit, but hormones are one of the biggest sub-reasons for the appearance of aging skin. Dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity can all be attributed in some part to changes in hormone levels. Put simply: if your hormones are not properly balanced, they can wreak havoc on your skin.

As a physician specializing in hormone replacement, my job is to study your endocrine system, which produces your hormones, to ensure that it functions correctly. This will help your skin to retain and, in some cases, re-coup some of its lost luster.

Other internal factors that show up on your skin include nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, sleep deprivation, poor hygiene, and inadequate water intake. You can change all that and thus the way your skin ages. Take control. Eat right, try to eliminate stress, drink lots of water, and get a good night’s sleep. Your skin will thank you.
