The main reason for wilting is decrease in estrogen levels. Creams with phyto-estrogens offered by skincare manufacturers will help slow down the aging process of the skin.

What are estrogens

Estrogens are sex hormones that are produced in significantly higher quantities in women than in men. They perform several important tasks, including affecting the condition of the skin. By stimulating and regulating collagen synthesis, they help maintain skin elasticity. A significant decrease in the level of the hormone occurs after menopause, and as a result, age-related changes in the skin, wrinkles, and deformation of the face oval become much more noticeable.

Why do you need creams with estrogen for the face, how they affect the skin

Since this hormone is responsible for the production of collagen, due to a decrease in its level, the skin loses its elasticity, firmness, and becomes thinner. Estrogens increase hyaluronic acid levels for prolonged hydration. With a decrease in the level of this hormone, the skin becomes dry, dehydrated, wrinkles become more visible and deeper.

An estrogen cream for women can help combat visible signs of aging skin and slow down the aging process. Since the use of hormones in the production of cosmetics is prohibited by international conventions, but allowed in medicinal products, hormone-like substances of plant origin are used in the composition of care products for daily use - phyto-estrogens.

Their biological properties are similar to human hormones. Such a substance, included in the composition of the caring agent, should support the synthesis of collagen at the level necessary to preserve the youthfulness of the skin, without disturbing the general hormonal background.

• from 35 years old for basic care on an ongoing basis if indicated;
• at a young age to combat acne against a background of increased androgen levels: creams based on phyto-estrogens have a mild antiandrogenic effect, which contributes to a decrease in activity sebaceous glands.

Phyto-estrogens not only penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and compensate for the lack of human hormones, but also activate the sensitivity of the receptors of human cells to hormones produced by the body, including estrogens.
