And we were told that eventually, we would grow out of it, hopefully. But what we weren&#8217;t told is that we don&#8217;t ever really grow out of hormonal changes.<\/p>\n<p>There may be times when our hormones level out and are in balance, but they constantly shift throughout our lifetime. And, as women, <strong>there is a point in our lives when we hear the &#8220;M&#8221; word\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/menopause-hormone-pellets\/\">menopause<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But up until recently, no one wanted to talk very much about what menopause is and what it does.

And just like in high school, these hormonal changes affect your skin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is Your Skin Getting Dry and Itchy?<\/h2>\n<p>Dry, itchy skin isn&#8217;t always just a minor irritation. It can be uncomfortable at best and even painful at its worst. It can also prevent you from doing things that you want to do and wearing things that you want to wear.<\/p>\n<h3>Thyroid<\/h3>\n<p>A major cause of dry skin is hormonal imbalances. The thyroid hormone regulates moisture levels in the dermis (the deepest layer of the skin).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Too much <strong>thyroid hormone<\/strong> leads to bloated, puffy skin.<\/li>\n<li>Too little <a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/hypothyroidism\/\"><strong>thyroid hormone<\/strong> <\/a>causes scaly, dry, itchy skin that can ultimately turn to eczema.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thyroid functionality tends to decline with age in both men and women, which causes hypothyroidism\u2014 too little thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism can also happen during and after pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h3>Estrogen<\/h3>\n<p>Another hormone that affects the skin is estrogen. <strong>Estrogen stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes and hydrates to the skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Estrogen levels naturally decline in women as they enter their 30&#8217;s, which causes hyaluronic acid production to decrease and skin to lose its moisture.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why so many dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid- like Juvaderm and Restylane are so popular. They give the skin the added boost that is missing as well as decrease fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Have You Ever Wondered Where Those Wrinkles Actually Come From?<\/h2>\n<p>Wrinkles are also caused by hormone imbalance. Estrogen and progesterone are the two hormones responsible for the production of collagen and elastin.<\/p>\n<p>These two proteins keep the skin flexible and plump. Collagen and elastin must be consistently replenished in the skin because they break down over time.<\/p>\n<p>When estrogen and collagen production naturally declines as you age, <strong>the body is unable to consistently replace the collagen and elastin that keep you looking youthful.<\/strong> This is when wrinkles, sagging loose skin, and other signs of aging begin to appear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Thyroid vs. Hormone Imbalance- It&#8217;s Written All Over Your Skin<\/h2>\n<p>You can actually make the best guess at which type of hormonal imbalance is occurring before you even get tested. All you have to do is look at your skin.<\/p>\n<h3>Reproductive Hormonal Imbalance<\/h3>\n<p>Reproductive hormonal imbalance causes the skin to seem dry, itchy, or possibly flaky. Using oils and moisturizers can provide relief in the short-term, but <strong>the dryness will persist until the issue is rooted out and solved internally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Thyroid Hormonal Imbalance<\/h3>\n<p>Thyroid hormone imbalance also makes the skin dry.\u00a0 But the skin will also appear yellowish, cold to the touch, and often pale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thyroid imbalances also bring on other symptoms like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat or cold intolerance<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Puffiness in the skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fatigue<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Unusual changes to body shape and weight<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though your skin can be used as a clue to what&#8217;s going on with your hormones,\u00a0 it&#8217;s always best to be tested to get the answers you need so that you can pursue the proper course of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Treating the Underlying Cause May Solve Other Issues Too<\/h2>\n<p>You may find that treating the underlying cause of your skin condition can resolve other issues that seemed unrelated to your skin problems.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an imbalance in the estrogen hormone is causing your dry skin, then you may be experiencing <strong>frustrating symptoms related to your brain like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Memory loss<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>A slower learning curve<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Interruptions in motor control<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Making sure that the brain has enough estrogen also protects against stroke damage and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Listen up, men!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brains do not discriminate\u2014 both men and women need to have proper hormone levels to keep their brains healthy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Both Women and
