VIVA – Everyone will experience aging, be it, women or men. However, the aging process is different. Many people say that women look older faster than men. It turns out this statement is not a myth, but there is a scientific explanation.
Skin and Gender Specialist, dr. Hari Darmawan, Sp.KK in the event of Skin Talk & Skincare experience Artisty Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum revealed that the reason behind it all is the hormones estrogen and progesterone in women.
“When women enter the 30 to 40 years, estrogen-progesterone drop. Unlike men who only have testosterone that is not related to aging,” dr. Hari Darmawan explained on Wednesday, October 13, 2022.
According to dr. Hari, the condition of menstruation every month in women causes both hormones to rise and fall. But when entering the age of menopause, the hormone drops affect why women look older than men.

In addition, the consumption of foods that are high in sugar is also known to affect the premature aging process.
“High in sugar, carbohydrates are a factor. Why do outsiders look younger? because their sugar consumption is not as high as Indonesians,” dr. Hari Darmawan remarked.
On the other side, speaking of aging, the aging process goes on from the age of 30 to 40 years. But not only at that age, aging can also happen in the 20s or what is called premature aging. It is because of the lack of awareness of women to take care of their skin from an early age.
"When you're 20, your skin has elastin and collagen, which decreases 1.5 percent every year. Just starting to realize 30 years of dry skin, sagging fine lines because of late skin care early on,” dr. Hari explained.
Premature aging can be seen in various appearances ranging from oily skin, and dry skin to enlarged pores.
"The sign of premature aging of the skin looks oily if you wash your face immediately there is a problem with oil. Dry skin is like being pulled out easily, signs of premature aging, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores,” dr. Hari Darmawan said.
