Unlocking Ageless Beauty: BHRT to Prevent Skin Aging

The skin care industry brings in over $90 billion each year.1 The average American spends anywhere from $300 to $700 annually on skin care products. That is nearly $15,000 to over $30,000 over the course of a lifetime spent on trying to make our skin look radiant and youthful. However, as we strive to combat the wears and tears of age related to our skin, we may become too focused on the what to do and not on the why. Before we address potential solutions to reclaiming your skin to its former, younger glory, let’s take a look at what is happening on a molecular level regarding hormones and a physiological level regarding body processes to impede your skin’s natural glow.

How Hormone Imbalance Or Decline Can Happen

Research has extensively shown that aging leads to hormonal decline.2 Specifically, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, to name a few key hormones, all decline in production due to age. There can be a multitude of factors for this; however, there are two effects on the hormonal system within the body. Either a low receptivity or low hormonal response, regardless of the concentration of hormones, or there are issues with the hormonal concentration. There are also temporary causes of hormonal imbalances.3 Changes to diet that result in food intake low in fat, a macronutrient essential in hormone function and production, or excessive exercise that causes the breakdown of the body, or medical treatments that can lead to excessive weight loss. Speaking to a doctor can help determine the cause of your hormonal decline or imbalance.

What Hormones Are Needed To Fight Off Skin Aging

The three key hormones that have skin looking youthful and healthy are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone; the three same hormones that are known to decline due to age.4
