Skin Issues
Skin concerns such as acne, dryness, inflammation, or irritation can reflect internal hormonal and metabolic health.
The skin is influenced by reproductive hormones, thyroid function, gut health, and inflammation.
Changes in skin often mirror changes occurring internally.
Understanding skin issues
Learn the basics of hormonal skin concerns
Hormones influence oil production, skin cell turnover, and inflammation.
Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, and androgens can affect skin clarity and texture.
The skin is also closely connected to gut health and immune function.
Stress and metabolic health may further influence skin presentation.
Each person’s skin responds differently to hormonal changes.
