The main question the study wants to answer is:
Does menopause cause any changes in how the skin ages?
To find out, the participants will be divided into two groups based on their menstrual history:
* Women who have not yet gone through menopause (premenopausal) * Women who have already gone through menopause (postmenopausal) A researcher will examine the skin of women in both groups to look for signs of aging. Then, the results will be compared to see if there are any differences between the two groups.
