Podcast Highlights

• Understanding Hormonal Acne: Hormonal acne is not your high school pimple situation, but a complex interplay of hormones causing skin havoc.
• Hormones and Acne: Our hormones function in a delicately balanced synergy, meaning an increase or decrease in one hormone likely indicates imbalances elsewhere as well. Sadly, there isn’t just a single hormone at fault.
• Causes of Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal imbalances can result from natural fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause, as well as medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and more.
• Recognizing Hormonal Acne: Hormonal acne typically occurs on the lower part of your face and often presents as cysts or nodules.
• Treatment for Hormonal Acne: Establishing a skincare routine, incorporating stress management techniques, maintaining a balanced diet, and adapting your skincare and lifestyle routine to your menstrual cycle can all help manage hormonal acne.
