Women Aging Faster than Men

Appearance is the important thing to be maintained whether by women or men. Good appearance, wearing fashionable and classy stuff is a general way to looking more attractive. Body treatments to keep their body healthy and looks good; face treatments are also the most important way, especially for women to make them always look young and not getting old. However, we often see that women look older than men though they have the same age. Dr. Moshe Kon from Medical Center Utrecht said that problem happened, because women have fewer sweat glands than men, and it makes women’s skin aging faster. Besides that, some factors such as stress, menopause effect, oil glands, and maturity level are greatly affecting the aging in women.

Stress is one of the problems that is often happened by people at this time, and it can affect the health of our skin. Because according to research, stress issue is responsible towards accelerated aging of cells in our body especially for women. Women are more susceptible to stress than men. Because, if women have problems; they always think about it all the time. Women also keep their problem from others and it makes women get stress easily.

Another issue that makes women aging faster than men is menopause. Menopause is a normal condition that will be experienced by all women in the certain age and it is not a disease or medical disorder. In general, menopause can be regarded as the end of the menstrual cycle in women. When the woman's age is increasing, then the hormone estrogen that is produced will be reduced so that the estrogen levels will decrease and that process called menopause. The function of the hormone estrogen itself is a hormone that can make her skin look healthy so it will look more radiant.

Besides menopause factor, the level of oil glands in the body is affected in women aging. Sweat glands in women less than men, so that women will be more rapidly aging. In a study saying that if the sweat glands function to produce oil that makes the skin look moist and also help the blood vessels carrying blood to the organs of the body that can brighten the skin. If the sweat glands are very few, then women skin is not brighter than men. Oil glands that can help moisturize and brighten the skin that located at the mouth and eyes.

And the last one, the problem that women aging faster than men is maturity level. It is also a major factor that makes women are aging faster than men. As we know that women tend to be faster to reach maturity period than men. This fact supported by a researched by Dr. Marc Kaiser that he said a man become mature about 40 years old; besides, women being mature about 32 years old. This maturity is very influenced women because many things to do and to thinks in their mind. Because mature people has a more complex way of thinking and it is related to the fact that stress can make women aging faster.

 In brief, women should try to avoid feeling the stress so they can minimize the factor that makes them aging faster. Meanwhile, in menopause factor that cannot be avoided, if the hormone estrogen in the body decreases, then the woman will look more wrinkled, dull and not fresh. The other fact that oil glands are exceeding the limit is one of the reasons why the women aging faster. The last factor that makes women aging faster is the experience of living and daily life situations that make them more mature than men and get stress easily.
