The Acne Void: How to know if your acne is hormonal and how to start treating it

Hormonal acne usually shows up around your chin and jawline and is painful and lasts forever or sometimes its has more of a rash look. And is usually caused by those monthly hormone imbalances and are a little easier to treat. And then, there are the hormonal kind that stay ALL the time and are caused by a bigger imbalance . Lets talk about the first of the two. You will probably get acne around "that" time and it will clear just in time for it to start again (while your still battling red marks from the last time) Yeah, really annoying. There are several different options to treat this. The first is a simpler choice to take a muti vitamin that has; 1,000IU of vitamin D3 if you dont get enough sunshine you may be lacking this its an important vitamin to regulate your hormones. (you can get the spring valley brand at walmart) 8.000IU of vitamin A it helps to slow down the oil production of your skin causing the acne to be less severe. B-complex is important for nerves, energy, and hormones just make sure it contains B6. The last is magnesium and vitamin C. The other alternatives are some very highly rated products that I have heard great results about and are defiantly worth looking into are; Natures cure two part female acne treatment.It comes with a one month supply of pills and take one pill twice a day and from the reviews they start out with that amount and after a few months are able to cut back and still maintain good results AND ITS ONLY AROUND $10.00! It was discontinued for a year but because of the high demand was brought back. It can be ordered at walmart amazon or ebay . But I would look it up on amazon. AND THERES ALSO A MENS VERSION! Next up is called Femaprin and contains vitex and B6 (which I would buy separate and take together to save$$$) Now vitex has been used for female acne for a long time but is more of a risk because it can break you out worse if you dont need it. You can usually tell in the first week. But if you take it and your acne does not get worse it may be your acne cure! The problem is that its a slow acting herb so as long as it does not break you out worse it may take 2 months to start seeing positive results. But the great news is that if you start seeing good results it usually only gets better and it can be taken for years without lessening results! The best brand is by Natures Way and has good instructions on the bottle. Always take the first does on an empty stomach in the morning and at least 30min before a meal for the rest of the day. Next is a promising product I have only recently heard about and is for more persistent hormonal acne so I will continue this info on my next post since this is kinda long! Feel free to comment!
