Need to know more about it? Let’s read on with us to go deep down in hormonal acne.
What causes hormonal acne?
Acne is caused by clogged pores. Hormonal acne develops when hormonal changes increase the amount of oil your skin produces. This oil interacts with bacteria on the pores of your skin where hair grows (hair follicles) and results in acne.\
How do you know if your acne is hormonal?
Your acne appears around your chin and jawline. One of the telltale signs of a hormonal breakout is its location on the face. If you’re noticing inflamed cystic acne on your chin or jawline area—anywhere around your lower face, really—you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s probably hormonal acne.
How can I stop hormonal acne?
Wash your face in the morning and again in the evening.
Apply no more than a pea-size amount of any acne product. Applying too much can dry out your skin and increase irritation.
Wear sunscreen every day and use only non-comedogenic products to reduce your risk of clogged pores.

Vitamin D, green tea extract, B vitamins, and zinc are just some of the supplements that may benefit people with acne.
How to treat hormonal acne naturally?
Following a nutrient-dense diet, cutting out dairy, and limiting added sugars are evidence-based practices that may improve acne symptoms.
