Progesterone and Skin Health

Progesterone levels start to decline during mid to late 30’s, which leaves the skin looking dull and old. Interestingly, stronger scientific evidence suggests that this revitalizing hormone is beneficial for skin elasticity and circulation, making it an effective anti-aging treatment:
1. In postmenopausal women, application of progesterone cream improves skin elasticity and reduces more wrinkles. [195]
2. In women, progesterone administration helps maintain healthy, younger skin by improving blood circulation. [196]
3. In menopausal women, administration of progesterone vaginal suppository significantly improves skin moisture, elasticity and skin thickness. [197]
