Hormonal acne is a type of acne that is commonly experienced by adult women. It is caused by fluctuations in the levels of hormones, particularly androgens, which are responsible for the production of sebum (skin oil). The increase in sebum can clog pores and lead to the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
In order to effectively treat hormonal adult acne, it is important to identify any triggers that may be causing your acne to flare up. This could include stress, diet, skincare products, and certain medications. Keeping a journal to track the triggers can be helpful.
The use of anti-aging skincare focuses on improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. In the context of hormonal acne, anti-aging skincare can help improve the overall appearance of the skin while also treating acne.
Use gentle skincare products that are non-comedogenic and free of harsh ingredients to avoid irritating the skin. Start by washing your face with the So Fresh pH Balancing Cleanser, a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser that remove excess oil and impurities without over-stripping your skin and weakening your lipid barrier.
