Wrinkles Start In Your Brain, Not Your Skin — Here’s Why

Wrinkles don’t just come from sun exposure or genetics — they actually start in your brain. That’s right, your hypothalamus plays a huge role in how quickly your skin ages.

I’m Deborah Maragopoulos, a family nurse practitioner and hormone expert, and I’ve seen how skin health reflects what’s happening deep inside your body.

Skin stem cells are constantly renewing, but stress, poor nutrition, smoking, and hormonal changes like menopause can damage them. 

When your hypothalamus is out of balance, your hormone levels fluctuate wildly, which accelerates aging in those skin cells.

That’s why stress or big hormone shifts like menopause can suddenly make you look older almost overnight.

Your Skin’s Health Starts Inside

Of course, sun protection and hydration matter, but your skin’s health starts inside. 

Supporting your hypothalamus helps your hormones stay steady — which helps your skin age more gracefully.

Wrinkles aren’t just skin deep. They start in your hypothalamus.

If you want your skin to reflect vitality, it starts with balance inside. That’s why I created Genesis Gold® — to nourish your hypothalamus so your whole body, including your skin, can thrive.
