Hormone Imbalance Acne
Hormone imbalance acne solutions. Hormone Surges in Older Women
The acne grown in older women is different than acne grown on teenage skin. Adults tend to break out more on the chin, lower
cheeks, and jawline, rather than the oily "T-zone" of the nose and forehead.
The pimples themselves may be deeper and feel harder to the touch than adolescent zits. Adult acne often comes and goes with menstrual cycles. Breakout of Acne is More Than Skin DeepAdult acne is often more than skin deep. These breakouts can be a symptom of hormones gone awry, thanks to your menstrual cycle, stress, or even medical problems.Regardless of the source, the problem is usually too much of an influx of testosterone. DHT is a powerful androgen hormone that tells our sebaceous gland to make more oil, leading to the breakouts we hate. It's hard to pinpoint where the extra testosterone is coming from. In some women, acne may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition which grows at the ovaries producing the excess testosterone. In other women, the extra testosterone is coming from the adrenal glands. Basically, this androgen soon turns into testosterone, then the oil-causing DHT, and then finally acne. But if the extra testosterone is coming from the adrenal glands, it's due to something more serious than a skin problem. Diabetes and AcneWomen with diabetes may also struggle with acne. Insulin resistance can lead to more testosterone floating around in your body.Stress and Acne
Menopause acne can also be the result of being just too stressed-out. If you're balancing work, family, home, and the care of elderly parents, your skin may show it.
When you are under pressure, your body responds by releasing stress hormones that prepare you for "fight or flight". When you're stressed, not only is the stress hormone adrenaline released, but also testosterone. Over the Counter Acne SolutionsIf you get 3 to 5 pimples on a regular basis, then never spot treat. You need a different program and you should treat your entire face every day.The following are a couple over-the-counter solutions to your hormone imbalance acne problems. Benzoyl peroxide. This kills propionibacterium acnes, the bacterium that infects our clogged pores, causing pimples. Look for a 2.5% benzoyl. peroxide product. Salicylic acid. This beta hydroxy acid also fights wrinkles. This is also real good for pimple prevention. This ingredient penetrates deep into our pores, keeping them clear of the plugs that run into pimples. Forget about alcohol-based astringent and toners. All they do is strip the top layer of the skin, failing to penetrate deep enough to the unplug pores. This makes things worse as the oil glands overcompensate for the temporary dryness of the only toned skin. Hormone Imbalance Acne to Hormone Imbalances Hormone Imbalances to BHRT-Resource Home
