  • Title: Women's perceptions of the effects of menopause and hormone replacement therapy on skin.
    Author: Leitch C, Doherty V, Gebbie A.
    Journal: Menopause Int; 2011 Mar; 17(1):11-3. PubMed ID: 21427418.
    Abstract:
    Although women frequently associate skin issues with menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), little work has been done to investigate a possible relationship. A questionnaire was given to women attending a specialist menopause clinic; 87 women responded. Skin problems generally were common, with over 64% of respondents reporting past problems. Around half felt that the menopause had resulted in skin changes; dry skin was the predominant complaint at this stage. However, use of HRT in the short term did not result in any conclusive trends in skin condition in the majority of users.
