The Estrogen-Skin Connection — Nurturing Skin Health Through Life’s Changes
As our bodies evolve, so does our skin. At AM Skincare, we believe in working with the body—not against it—and that includes supporting hormonal changes with kindness and knowledge. One of the most impactful hormones when it comes to skin health is estrogen. If you’re noticing changes in your skin texture, hydration, or elasticity, you’re not alone—and there’s a reason for it.
🌸 What is Estrogen’s Role in Skin Health?
Estrogen is a powerful hormone that supports everything from bone density to mood, and yes—your skin too. As estrogen levels decline, especially during and after menopause, skin can begin to feel dry, less firm, and more prone to sensitivity.
Here’s how estrogen helps keep your skin happy and healthy:
Hydration: It supports sebum (natural oil) production to keep skin soft and moisturized.
Barrier Function: Estrogen enhances the skin’s barrier, helping it hold onto moisture and shield against environmental irritants.
Firmness + Bounce: It stimulates collagen and elastin production—two proteins that keep the skin firm, plump, and elastic.
💧 What Happens to Skin After Menopause?
As estrogen decreases, you might notice:
Dry, tight, or flaky skin
Fine lines appearing more defined
Skin feeling thinner or more fragile
A loss of that “glow” you used to have
This is completely natural—but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it.
