Progesterone Dries Out My Skin Progest-E

[hiconscience]

progesterone dries out my skin estrogenic foods moisturize it like sardines, shellfish, whole fat dairy, eggs. Also birthcontrol makes me hyperthyroid.

this goes against lots of what I read here.

I have found progesterone to be drying in certain contexts. I believe it can cause loss of sodium which would affect the body's water balance. So you could try increasing sodium if you feel you need the progesterone. Or perhaps a lower dose of progesterone. Or maybe you don't need it at all depending on your age/health/hormone status.

Are you certain the birth control actually made you hyperthyroid? Or maybe just hyper?

Progesteron speeds up metabolism so CO2 and exhale more water. I found that with thyroid and progest i need at least 4 liters of fluids to prevent dehydration
