Why Women Age Faster Than Men
INTRINSIC: HORMONES
Estrogen has many anti-aging effects on the skin. As women enter menopause and lose estrogen, they experience a decrease in collagen, antioxidant protection and moisture content. Estrogens also have anti-inflammatory properties, so menopausal women may experience inflammation of the skin and/or exacerbation of rosacea. The number of small blood vessels feeding the skin also decreases with a loss in estrogen, resulting in pale skin and less well-nourished skin. All of these add up to rapid aging with menopause. Men do have small amounts of estrogen and encounter the same issues, but usually not until they are in their 70s or 80s.
