Hello everyone.

I've been on hormones for 4 months now and have definatley noticed my skin has become a bit less oily and softer. I'm curious though will it continue to soften and become less oily as the hrt changes continue or do they reach a stand still after a few months or so? Like say would my skin become even more feminine at 1 year or even 2 years of hrt or will it be basically the same as it is now and I probably shouldn't expect anything more?

I am only a couple of months in, but emotions and skin changes were the first to me. It will stabilize one day, but every one is different. Sorry I can't help more than this.

Skin changes were the first thing, very noticeable at 3 months for me.  It's stabilised since.  I do notice I tend to bruise a lot more easily these days and moisturising is a must.

What may change over time is that you may gain a thin layer of subcutaneous fat so it's much harder to be "cut" for muscle definition.
