Estrogen and prometrium and skin care

I just turned 60 and have been on esrtogen and prometrium for years and years. My dose is very low .  I think. (.05 estrogen and 100 prometrium daily).
I`m wondering what I can expect as I wean off these drugs.
Will I see more rapid signs of ageing (aging) than if I was on them?
How much of an impact do they make on your complexion?
My hair ? Will it thin out?
My weight? Estrogen make you gain, or lose? I am planning to get them but
I`m a little reluctant although the risk of breast cancer or worse is pretty scary.
I would like to know what to expect.
Thanks for any feedback.

A. Estrogen does have a positive effect on the skin. It helps keep the tissue smooth and prevents wrinkles. Over the next two to three years there will be some changes in your skin. The best way to combat this is to drink a lot of water (8+ glasses)and use skin creams daily, and apply sun block whenever you go outside.  It should not affect your hair or weight.
