Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is enjoying the 🌞 sun.

Today, I wanted to share about women’s hormonal acne. I get ladies asking me why they are experiencing acne at a later age. Take a look, and let me know if you have suffered from that, or what has worked for you.

Are you suffering from acne as an adult woman? Do you have mild, moderate, or severe facial acne? There are many solutions other than using pharmaceuticals.

All 3 doshas are aggravted with acne, and the blood tissue (rakta dhatu).

• Vata acne, + imbalance induces hyperkeratinization, thickening of skin, because of excess keratin, + build of up dead skin cells.

• Pitta acne, usually one of the primary doshas responsible for adult acne. It causes inflammation, + burning feeling. Very painful, red.

• Kapha acne, imbalances lead to excess sebum production, clogged pores, + bacterial (Propionibacterium acnes), + fungal infections of the skin. Swollen, pus-filled cysts.

Hormonal changes set off the acne. You may be going through perimenopause. Or experiencing menopause; when your estrogen starts declining, + the ratio to other reproductive hormones changes + becomes imbalanced. Thus, leading to a rise in androgens.

Hormonal acne, is due to a rise in androgens, or male hormones such as, testosterone, androstenedione and DHEA.

High levels of inflammation, causes compromised immune function, and metabolic activity. In turn, creates an increase in ama (toxic waste).

A decrease in estrogen levels, leads to excess levels of androgens. So, we need to focus on decreasing androgen levels, + restore overall hormonal balance.

Make sure to decrease stress, as that leads to increased cortisol levels, which causes the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil.

Avoid, sugar, as it feeds inflammation.

Work with me 1:1, and I can help you with:

• Bio metric testing to help identify hormonal imbalances.

• Implement a customized dietary plan, and lifestyle tips for your body type/imbalances.

• Work on your gut health, and improve digestion which will help decrease inflammation. Help identify any food intolerances, infections, that is causing poor gut health.

• Implement artisan Ayurvedic herbals to effectively detox, support gut health, reduce inflammation, and balance hormones.

Take care. Happy Health.
