As mentioned, estrogen affects the health and structure of the skin. One study established that estrogen decline during menopause affects the skin. Effects include:

• Fine wrinkling of the skin
• Dryness
• Slow healing of wounds
• Atrophy

Lower estrogen levels lead to faster loss of skin elasticity. The elastin fibers in the skin structure weaken, leading to the appearance of wrinkles.

The same study found that topical products containing plant-based estrogen can help in improving skin appearance, including better elasticity, skin texture, and fewer face wrinkles.

Other benefits of estrogen include:

• Better Skin Hydration
  Skin hydration is crucial in maintaining good skin structure and healthy skin cell regeneration. The herb helps to lock in moisture that promotes more supple, elastic and glowing skin.
  
  
• Better Skin Elasticity
  Elasticity helps the skin to revert back to its healthy shape after being stretched. In the face, good skin elasticity helps areas that fold often like around the eyes and mouth to return to their initial smooth state.
  
  This same benefit helps in reducing the depth of face wrinkles. This also helps improve pore size, resulting in better looking skin.
  
  
• Improve Signs of Skin Aging
  Keeping estrogen levels within the skin structure helps in delaying the effects of skin aging. This can help keep the skin from dryness, roughness and wrinkle-formation.
  
  

Decreased estrogen production in the body affecting the skin can be remedied by using estrogen cream for face wrinkles. These creams contain compounds called phytoestrogens.

Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that mimic the action of estrogen in the body. Studies found that these compounds can help in improving certain conditions and even reducing the risk or intensity of:

• Menopausal symptoms
• Breast cancer
• Heart disease
• Osteoporosis

A study published in 2003 observed that phytoestrogens can help in managing various issues related to menopause and decreased estrogen levels. These include:

• Reduced intensity of menopausal symptoms
• Improved cardiovascular health
• Short-term improvement of bone health
• Potential reduction in risk for breast cancer

Soybeans have long been one of the most common sources of phytoestrogens, but there’s another fabulous option. Multiple studies found that one plant native to Thailand could be the most abundant source of phytoestrogens in the world. It’s called Pueraria Mirifica. Theshrub also provides a good list of health benefits, including improvement in face wrinkles.

Pueraria Mirifica is an herb that grows almost exclusively in Thailand and Myanmar. Pueraria mirifica is part of a long history of Thai traditional medicinal practice as a rejuvenating agent for both men and women.

Modern scientific studies found that this plant contains a significant amount of active phytoestrogens. One study was able to isolate at least 17 different phytoestrogens! Most of these belong to isoflavone group of compounds.

These compounds can help in managing certain health issues, including face wrinkles.

Many studies were done on this Thai plant to find out if there are scientific evidences to back its Thai traditional uses. Here are some of the most valid uses of Pueraria Mirifica:

• Improvement in vaginal dryness
• Reduced risk or slowdown of osteoporosis progression
• Improve libido
• Alleviate moderate mood swings
• Reduce hot flashes
• Decrease high cholesterol levels
• Increase breast size in women
• Soften and smoothen skin

One study also found that this herb may help in battling some types of cancer. There is some evidence that Pueraria Mirifica extracts have potential anti-proliferation effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

There are several other studies confirming the anti-cancer potential of Pueraria mirifica.

What makes this Thai herb increasingly popular today is its wide range of benefits for the skin. These include:

• Better skin hydration
• Improved skin elasticity
• Reducing the depth and number of face wrinkles
• Reduce visible signs of aging

Topical products with plant-based estrogens applied directly to the skin are great for fighting off wrinkles. There are many forms of topical estrogen, the most common of them being serums and creams.

Many experts recommend using an estrogen cream for face wrinkles. Unlike serums, these creams contain additional ingredients that may help in further improving skin health.

Examples of added ingredients are those that help remove dead skin cells (hydroxyl acids) and antioxidants (vitamin C, niacinamide).

Serums are light liquid preparations. The active compounds in serums are rapidly absorbed into the skin upon application.

Many serums on the market are water-based. These are perfect for applying over oily skin.

This form also contains a higher concentration of active ingredients. It doesn’t contain any occlusive, thickening agents (e.g., mineral oil, petrolatum), or lubricating agents that may cause skin irritation.

A face serum with Pueraria mirifica extract, for instance, contains a potent concentration of active phytoestrogens. These can be directly absorbed into the skin for faster action.

Benefits such as improved skin elasticity and hydration can be felt sooner. Improvements in the appearance and depth of face wrinkles are also observed sooner.
