The condition of your skin can tell you which hormones are lacking in your body.
Cosmetologist and plastic surgeon Madina Bairamukova spoke about this.
Estrogen, testosterone, thyroxine, triiodothyronine and insulin play an important role in maintaining healthy skin, Life.ru shares details.
Estrogens
These hormones make the skin elastic, preventing dryness.
With a lack of estrogen, especially in women, the skin becomes dry and thin, and wrinkles appear quickly.
Testosterone
This hormone is present in both women and men. It regulates the production of sebum, which provides protection to the skin.
Deficiency of this hormone causes dryness and flaking.
Thyroid hormones
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine support blood circulation and cell renewal.
Their deficiency makes the skin dry, rough and possible swelling.
Insulin
It is responsible for blood sugar levels and affects the condition of the skin.
Insulin deficiency affects the quality of blood circulation, wound healing and increases the risk of infections.
