Skin care can be defined as the practice of supporting skin hygiene, health, and integrity. This is usually through the application of medical and cosmetic products, medical procedures, and sometimes oral medications.
Estrogens have significant effects on skin physiology and modulate epidermal keratinocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and melanocytes, in addition to skin appendages including the hair follicle, the sebaceous gland and collagen content. Importantly, skin aging can be significantly delayed by the administration of estrogen.[1]
