These are identical twins… who made very different hormonal health choices. Twin B (on the right) used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for over two decades longer than her sister on the left. When assessed, the perceived age gap between them was 7.25 years – with Twin B appearing significantly younger. Why? Oestrogen plays a major role in skin hydration, elasticity and collagen support. Research shows that women who used HRT or oral contraceptives often appeared younger, largely due to oestrogen’s protective effects on the skin. As oestrogen naturally declines through menopause, HRT may help soften some of the visible signs of ageing. A really interesting example of how hormonal health can influence how we age, not just how long we live. (PRS Journal) 🤍 Curious to hear your thoughts, does the difference surprise you?
