Alternativa promissora para peles maduras: os efeitos dos fitoestrógenos na pele humana e seu uso tópico

Skin quality deteriorates with age for a variety of reasons, including hormonal deficiencies. In women, the decline in estrogen levels during menopause plays an important role in skin degeneration, with consequent atrophy, collagen reduction, loss of elasticity and impaired wound healing. Research has shown beneficial effects of topical phytoestrogen in the prevention and repair of skin aging, with localized action and without side effects. The aim of this study was to review the literature relevant to the subject, demonstrating that this can be a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of skin in perimenopausal women. ■ ABSTRACT ■ RESUMO
