HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE HORMONAL ACNE?

Most people associate acne with awkward teenage years, but for many adults, acne is still part of their everyday lives. While all acne is driven by hormones, “hormonal acne” commonly refers to adult acne. It's more common among women, but does exist among men, and can be identified by a few observable characteristics. 

It persists past your teen years into adulthood

It appears primarily around your chin and jawline

It usually worsens around the time of your period

It is resistant to topical products and/or medication

WHAT CAUSES HORMONAL ACNE?

Hormones are chemical messengers that tell your body how to behave - sleepy, stressed, hungry. They also tell your skin how to behave - oily, dry, irritated. So, when your skin (or mood) is erratic, it’s safe to assume certain hormones are also struggling to stay balanced.

HORMONE IMBALANCE

Healthy, acne-free skin relies on a delicate balance between three sex hormones – estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Any imbalance can trigger a domino effect of hormonal fluctuations that lead to hormonal acne.

Estrogen is responsible for a variety of functions like menstrual cycle, sleep quality, mood, and skin health. Estrogens can be classified as “good” or “bad.” The “good” are able to leave your body easily, while the “bad” linger, sticking to hormone receptors and causing damage. Since they stay in your body, too many “bad” estrogens can cause harmfully high estrogen levels, creating a hormone imbalance known as estrogen dominance. 

WEAK LIVER & GUT

When there are too many estrogens in your body, your liver and gut struggle to process and eliminate these excess hormones, which then recirculate through your body, perpetuating hormone imbalances and hormonal acne.  

Your liver removes the “bad” things from your body, while recycling all the “good” things. It processes everything from food, alcohol, and caffeine, to chemicals, medications, and hormones. If your liver is overworked, which it often is, “bad” estrogens aren’t properly processed and eventually recirculate back into your system, contributing to hormone imbalances and hormonal acne. That’s why a healthy liver is synonymous with clear, glowing skin. 

WHAT CAUSES HORMONE IMBALANCES?

You may be wondering what causes hormone imbalances, like high estrogen, in the first place. While genetics plays a role, there are several other contributing factors. Everything from the foods you eat to the products you use impacts your hormonal landscape, and therefore, the health of your skin.

Eating well and avoiding stress can help maintain hormonal balance, but many of these factors aren’t in your control. The average person is exposed to thousands of chemicals daily. They’re almost impossible to avoid. So, while many of us do our best to stay healthy, we could all use a little help when it comes to keeping hormones balanced and hormonal breakouts at bay. This is where Cocoon's powerful, natural hormonal acne supplement can help.

A TARGETED HORMONAL ACNE SUPPLEMENT THAT WORKS

The reality is, when it comes to persistent hormonal pimples, topical treatments are often ineffective. They only address the surface-level symptom, but not the root cause. While they can be a great addition to your skincare routine, long-lasting, acne-free skin starts from within.

Cocoon's hormonal acne supplement, Balance, contains a comprehensive mix of targeted ingredients that work by limiting estrogen build up and supporting healthy liver and gut function. In this way, your body can properly process and eliminate excess estrogens, so you can achieve healthy hormone balance and acne-free skin that lasts.
