Estrogen keeps the skin beautiful, and its deficiency tends to make it progressively thinner, fragile and dehydrated. It gets irritated over nothing. Itching and dry skin may manifest (experts call it “xerosis”), as well as a feeling of tingling or pins. What can you do? Above all, keep the skin well hydrated and always very clean, avoiding aggressive detergents and using appropriate creams and lotions (ask your pharmacist for advice). Protect your skin from sun exposure at all times during the year. Even diet can help; eat foods that are rich in vitamins A, C and E, which are powerful antioxidants that fight the aging of the skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep the tissues well hydrated. Accept small wrinkles and expression lines; they are part of your personal experience and highlight your personality.
