Your face isn’t just a mirror for your mood—it could reflect your hormonal health too. According to a recent article  visible facial changes can indicate shifts in key hormones like oestrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones and DHEA. Here are the nine facial signs to watch:

• Hair thinning & crown hair loss: Often linked to thyroid or sex-hormone drops.

• Outer eyebrow thinning: Can signal reduced oestrogen or thyroid hormone deficiency.

• Dry or watery eyes: Sex-hormone deficiencies can reduce tear production or alter eye moisture.

• Eyelash loss: Indicates age-related hormonal decline or thyroid involvement.

• Persistent nasal congestion: Fluctuations in oestrogen affect nasal membranes.

• Dry, lined lips: A classic sign of oestrogen decline in menopause.

• Unwanted chin hair growth: Androgen (testosterone) dominance showing up in unexpected places.

• Facial pallor or sagging cheeks: May point to low overall hormone levels.

• Loss of skin hydration or fullness: Weak sex-hormone or thyroid support can change skin texture.

Why this matters: spotting these signs early may help you catch deeper endocrine or metabolic shifts—whether it’s menopause, thyroid dysfunction or androgen changes. If you notice several signs together, it’s wise to consult your doctor or endocrinologist. In the meantime, good sleep, balanced diet, stress-management and regular check-ups can help you stay ahead of the imbalance.
