Abstract
With aging, there is a decrease in the level of hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and growth hormone. The effe ct of this decrease on the skin has been poorly documented, although more d ata are available for estrogen than for other hormones. This article review s the effect of decreasing hormone levels on the skin and the possible cuta neous benefits of hormone replacement therapy.
