Shape: “This Skin-Care Brand Aims to Revive Menopausal Skin Without Hormones”
“Estrogen plays a lot of different roles when it comes to skin health,” says Mamina Turegano, M.D., F.A.A.D., triple board-certified dermatologist and spokesperson for Emepelle. It plays a role in “building collagen, remodeling collagen, and keeping collagen in place,” she says, and collagen is responsible for giving skin a “more sturdy, taut, hydrated look.” Estrogen also plays a role in maintaining skin hydration and thickness. That means a lack of estrogen can make skin more crepey, thin, and dry, says Dr. Turegano.
