And so what do we start to see as we age is decline in estrogen now can't support the collagen, which is the framework of that structure and the ability for our skin to do that. So another example is pregnancy, right? In pregnancy, we usually see, which is a different type of estrogen, but it's a severe increase, right? Because that's what supports the pregnancy.

A lot of women will say, my skin in pregnancy and my hair in pregnancy is just phenomenal. And the reason is, is because there's this amazing estrogen support. When the baby comes out and the estrogen declines, a lot of people are like, now I'm losing my hair or my skin is really, really crappy. That has to do with that balance of estrogen.

So now when we're losing estrogen at a decline and it's not coming back, the skin responds. It's like, estrogen's not around. I can't be plump. I'm going to have these wrinkles. My skin is starting to sag a little. And that's because of the estrogen can contribute to the collagen, which is scaffold. Gotcha. So is there anything that you can do to...

Yes. So it's the way that you can do it directly on your skin, which is when now we start to hear more about estrogen creams that you can apply to your skin, right? And then that stimulates collagen growth? So it's the collagen growth, but also the blood flow. Estrogen is a very big proponent of blood flow and vascularity, two areas. And that's what we need in order for our skin to look

plump and not have the issues that it has in addition to the collagen. Yes. And so then the other part of that is if a woman is on hormone replacement therapy and she's either taking a pill, a patch, a cream, she's now giving her body back that estrogen, which allows it again to have the replenishment of estrogen, which supports our skin.

I think that there is a lot of consumerism. So there's a lot of products out there that are not necessarily going to get you the outcome that you want. Mm-hmm. And so when we look at skin products specifically, I think as we're getting older, we need to look at products that have maybe retinol, retin-A, that have things that actually are supporting collagen. Estrogen is one of those things.

But it doesn't necessarily mean because something claims to get the outcome that you're going to do it. The other thing that I would say is we have to watch our diet.
