OESTROGEN: WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE FOR YOUR SKIN?
Just as with any feature that is declining in function at this time, the skin needs greater attention. A good diet, plenty of fluids, and a decrease in cigarette and alcohol consumption all play a part. Moisturisers and night creams are also very useful.
Facial exercises My seventy-six-year-old aunt, who has hardly a wrinkle on her face, swears by facial exercises, and although I have no personal experience of them, exercise is so beneficial in general that I have no reason to doubt that they work.
Plastic surgery This is becoming more and more common and has a definite place for some. If removal of your wrinkles can improve your outlook, if your skin is past repair by simple methods, then this may help you dramatically. Enquire carefully, get good advice as to who achieves the best results, and ask all the necessary questions at your interview – for example you should know the expected results, time off work and in hospital, and costs involved. You may decided on a full facelift or a smaller treatment, for example on the eyelids or removal of puffiness from under the eyes.
Increase in pigmentation
Although increase in pigmentation with oestrogen occurs with the oral contraceptive pill, I have never observed this in dose levels used for oestrogen replacement therapy.
