Hello all! I was on tamoxifen for 7 years and was dx again last year with another bc! My mo switched me to arimidex. I feel like I’ve aged tremendously!!! Just wanted your opinions on if arimidex causes wrinkly saggy skin due to estrogen blocking? Dont we need estrogen to stay youthful???

    Hi there. We absolutely need estrogen to keep our skin looking young! However a goo skincare regimen can help a lot. To start the sun is your enemy. Wear a good sunscreen daily. I can help you form a good regimen. There is also a thread on it. Please feel free to ask me anything or PM. Good luck...

    Yes, estrogen deprivation does affect the skin. However, you can counteract it by moisturizing, a LOT, drink enough water and get enough exercise.
