The Control Of Some Hormones Relating To Cutaneous Aging: Mechanisms, Manifestations, And Management

    TLDR Hormones play a key role in skin aging, with estrogen and testosterone declines affecting skin health.
    This review discusses the crucial role of hormones in skin aging, focusing on how hormonal changes affect skin physiology. In women, the significant drop in estrogen during menopause is a primary factor in skin aging, leading to decreased collagen and elastin production, dermal thinning, loss of hydration, and heightened sensitivity to environmental stressors. In men, a gradual decline in testosterone also influences skin aging, but to a lesser degree. The review highlights hormones as essential regulators of skin health and suggests that future skin rejuvenation strategies could benefit from targeting endocrine pathways.

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
