Has mtf HRT made your body (skin and its pores) more dry, more oily, or unchanged?
If more dry, have you been using more moisturizers on these drier areas?
What have been these drier area?  Face?  Hands?   The arms and legs where you shave?

I am not sure I can tell much difference, but my skin is softer than ever with far less body hair.
I also clean my face well and I do use moisturizer on my face, regardless if I wear makeup.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

My hair has changed it does seem softer and fluffier my skin seems softer more silky smooth feeling oh I don't use anymore stress or anything like that but what I do like is I found an organic shampoo conditioner body wash and leave in conditioner and is free of all the sulfates and all that crap it feels so good and it makes my skin and hair feels so good it's called renpure I believe
Oh I did forget I had psoriasis before I started hormones but it wasn't bad after hormones the hormones seem to have activated it more so it is definitely more present
If you can't accept yourself,  how can you expect others to accept you?

My hair is much less oily, but definitely not dry. My hair also went from straight to very curly... so that was a big change for me. My skin in general is slightly less oily, and I would have to say I have neutral skin; not dry, not oily. I wouldn't say I had much of an issue with pores beforehand, so that is pretty much unchanged.
At what point did my life go Looney Tunes? How did it happen? Who's to blame?... Batman, that's who. Batman! It's always been Batman! Ruining my life, spoiling my fun! >:-)

My hair is curlier, but otherwise unchanged.

My skin is softer, more easily injured (thinner?), and drier.  My body hair went from brown and sparse to blonde and almost nonexistent.

2.5 weeks in I have much smoother skin. My back used to have a bunch of tiny bumps from dry skin. My entire back is clear. My skin in general has a much better look and feel to it.

I also have always had a oily face. I could wipe my forehead, below my hairline and get an oily sheen. This would happen no matter how much I washed my face. I no longer have the extra oil.

My hair has improved. It has always been super soft, but I had issues with dry scalp. I find that is improving also. So far skin changes are the main thing that has happened since starting HRT.

Hugs,
Lacy

She believed she could so she did!

The continuing story of my new life!

I somehow envy you girls.  Because I had always very soft skin, never any large pores and always soft and fluffy hair, I am not able to experience those changes.  I have no way to find, if estrogen works with me and ho that would do what?
I am missing all those controls you ladies have.  Not even my boobs are a good control, because they are growing already without estrogen.
This is pretty frustrating to read that HRT did this and that to you.  I was born with this and that and never changed, and now I don't know what happens!  I just hope that my feet and hands will shrink a little, because that would be something I would recognize!
