How to help hormonal skin

Monday, June 20, 2011
My doctor put me on antidepressants when I told him I had a foggy head and was very emotional.

So many of my clients come to me to have hair IPL treatment for their face are on this medication. Hair only grows on a female’s face if her hormones are dominated by male hormones, which can be heredity or can happen naturally as we age.

I believe the depression is usually the result of a hormone change in that person due to the body going through a change such as menopause and if they had a hormone check they could be advised of a better thing to do than go on antidepressants. Hormones control our life and emotions and there are many friendly ways to continually feel normal.

Can I cure ACNE for good?

Sunday, May 01, 2011
Myth

If we fix the face or where the acne is appearing it will be cured for good

Truth

NO. Acne is the result of a hormonal imbalance resulting in over active production of sebum (oil).  To get a permanent clear skin the body function must be balanced.  You must keep the skin fed with the essential vitamins and clean so the oils can flow without becoming infected while sorting out the hormone issue. This hormonal imbalance can be due to many factors such as 

  • you may be a person who stresses in which case, you produce too much cortisol which believed to activate an imbalance of hormones. Stress is believed to be the most common cause that is why students develop acne in year 11 and 12 and it disappears after their exams are over. Taking Vitamin B may be a great help to calm stress.
  • Many get a pimple outbreak when something special is coming up such as their wedding again this is stress.
  • you may have inherited an unbalanced hormone body
  • you may be polycystic
  • when you are pregnant your skin can be perfect or develop acne due to the effect the pregnancy has on your body hormone  balance.
  • Different contraception can cause acne with some and improve it with others.

 It has been noticed that Vitamin B can help calm stress and if you think you have a hormonal issue get a check up with your doctor.
