Real quick before we get into this post I’d like to introduce myself!
I’m Marissa, a Holistic Acne Coach and Certified Hormone + Natural Health Specialist!
I struggled with chronic cystic acne for years, so now I help other women clear their skin naturally without taking any acne medications or following cookie-cutter “clear skin diets” that don’t quite work for them.
Now let’s get into this post!!
Because it needs to be said… (Hormonal Acne Clearing 101)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, you know your hormonal acne is due to a hormone imbalance…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course a very important step to clearing it is to find out exactly which hormone imbalances you have (more info on that at the bottom of this post!),
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOWEVER, what an extremely important, often overlooked step is, is to discover WHY.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which factors contributed to your hormone imbalances in the first place?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you know why, then you’re able to know which things you can try and do differently from here on out. (Of course some things are out of our control, though)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One common contributing factor is an overload of toxicants in the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more toxicants we are exposed to, the bigger the stress load on our bodies, and in turn, worsening acne can eventually result. (If the liver is burdened, it can lead to acne.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And there are lots of household, personal care, and beauty products out there that contain ingredients that are known to be toxicants, others endocrine disrupting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why when I work with my clients we address both the causes of the hormone imbalances as well as the hormone imbalances themselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we do it naturally through taking a •personalized• holistic approach, addressing each person’s unique root causes, since that is absolutely the key!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the key to getting long-term results so you can finally escape the on-and-off cycle of painful cystic acne breakouts! 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[When I finally discovered this, it totally changed the game for me, leaving me wantin’ to say “Hail yeah!” as my acne continued clearing and I no longer experienced such pain on my face when the water poured down on all my cystic acne in the shower everyday]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, here’s a list of hormone imbalances that can lead to acne:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 Estrogen dominance (high estrogen to progesterone)
👉🏻 High testosterone
👉🏻 High DHT
👉🏻 High DHEA
👉🏻 Low estrogen
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you test and discover which hormone imbalances you have, that’s when you can really personalize your approach so you can get better results, in less time.
