Collagen loss starts in your early-to-mid 20s — about 1% a year. But after menopause, that rate doubles, and you can lose up to 30% of your body's collagen within 5 years. 😳
Why? Estrogen directly drives collagen production. When it drops, collagen breaks down faster and your skin makes less of it.
The result: thinner, rougher, crepey, looser skin. Not your imagination — a hormone-driven biological process.
The goal is to slow down collagen loss and I talk all about how to do that in the latest episode of The Skin Real! #collagen #collagenloss #menopause #perimenopause
