![🌟 Hormonal Acne: What’s Really Going On? 🌟
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. For many women, it’s linked to hormonal imbalances from conditions like PCOS, PMS, or perimenopause.
👀 “Acne usually begins in puberty and affects many adolescents and young adults; however, it can occur at any stage of life and may continue into one’s 30s and 40s. Adult acne continues to increase and affects up to 15% of women.” 😱 [AAD, https://www.aad.org/media/stats-numbers]
Hormonal acne doesn’t just impact your skin—it affects your confidence, mood, and overall well-being. Yet, conventional treatments like birth control pills or medications often act like a band-aid. Once you stop taking them, the acne usually comes back because the root problem hasn’t been addressed.
