You’ve probably heard most of your life that acne conditions and outbreaks are exacerbated by consuming greasy foods, sweet/sugary foods, and even dairy products. For the most part, if you don’t ever-eat these foods then they’re not the trigger.
What usually causes acne issues are hormones. These are your body’s “instructions” that tell cells, glands, and even organs what to do. Certain hormones stimulate oil glands to produce sebum. An overabundance of sebum can clog pores and allow bacteria to grow, causing the inflamed outbreaks.
These hormonal shifts happen no matter what you consume. It might be puberty, it might be body cycles, it might be menopause/andropause. We have therapies like < Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy > that can help hormone imbalance get back on track. Plus, we can talk about your diet, your medical history, your environment and more to help determine what’s causing the acne, and which treatments or therapies are your best lines of defense.
