Treatments and Symptoms

Changes in Hair, Skin and Nails

What it feels like

Thinner, more brittle hair on your head; increased facial hair; decreased body hair; crepey skin; brittle, weak nail

Why it happens

Estrogen is linked to hair growth, density and fullness. As hormone levels decrease, head hair can become dryer, more brittle and thinner. And due to a greater proportion of androgens (male hormones), you may begin to notice some hair growth on your face, particularly on the jaw line. You may also notice a decrease in body hair, including the pubic area.Declining estrogen also means skin gets thinner and less elastic due to a decrease in collagen. Your body produces less of the oil that both softens skin and helps it retain moisture. Menopausal skin loses elasticity and hydration and becomes thinner, dryer and loose
