Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers, carrying these hormones to your organs and tissues to help control growth, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, and mood.
For women specifically, the most common consequence of aging-related hormonal change is menopause due to the decreasing amount of estrogen. Having this decrease in estrogen has shown in studies that it can be linked to skin dryness, fine wrinkling, and a decline in skin elasticity.
In men, one of the most common aging-related hormonal changes is testosterone. A decrease in testosterone can lead to hair loss, a reduction in muscle mass, and feeling tired or irritable.
