How do hormones influence the health of our skin?
Joaquin Puerma Ruiz, MD
Dr. Joaquin Puerma, an endocrinologist and nutritionist, and author of the book "Your Hormones Matter", explains how hormones influence our skin health, revealing that this organ not only reflects our internal state but also acts as a sophisticated endocrine system. The skin actively participates in key processes such as vitamin D synthesis and responds to hormones like cortisol. Furthermore, it maintains a close interaction with the nervous system through the skin-brain axis. This hormonal connection makes the skin an excellent indicator of internal imbalances. Thus, hormonal care becomes an essential pillar for maintaining healthy skin.
