Estrogen has such a dramatic effect on the body, we often forget
how much it does for our skin. This essential hormone keeps skin
soft, supple and firm by encouraging collagen production. Along with
its connective partner elastin, collagen makes up our skin’s structural
support system. Together, they’re responsible for the skin’s youthful
resiliency.

During the years leading up to menopause (late 20s to mid 40s) the
body continues to produce skin-enhancing estrogen—but in
increasingly limited quantities. Studies show that skin loses up to
30% of its collagen in the first five years after menopause. The skin
can become more fragile and thin with increased wrinkling, sagging
and the possibility of facial hair and acne breakouts.

Menopause begins when your ovaries start to make significantly less
estrogen and progesterone, typically between the ages of 45 and
55. Since the face has a high concentration of estrogen receptors,
menopause may be at its most visible there—in the form of deep
creases, dull tone and crepe-like texture.

To rejuvenate the skin and regain a youthful glow, use products with
plant-based ingredients, like Soy, Wild Yam and Clover Flower
Extracts. Such powerful ingredients are proven to combat the visible
effects of menopause and hormonal skin aging and will result in a
notable difference almost immediately.
