Acne & Hormones

For most people, acne begins at puberty. The body starts to produce hormones called androgens. Androgens cause the enlargement and over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands in people with acne. This leads to the over-production of  sebum, and coupled with a sluggish exfoliation process leads to blocked pores and acne.

Sensitivity to these androgens also causes acne during the menstrual  cycle and sometimes in pregnancy or during menopause. It’s important to note  that acne is not caused by an excess in hormonal levels, but an abnormal reaction to  normal levels of these hormones. More people nowadays are developing acne in adulthood.

Possible reasons for this are diet, lifestyle and synthetic hormones in our environment (in food, water, plastics, some medications etc). Acnezine has proved to be a relief to all those suffering from  severe acne problems. Along with Acnezine you can help regulate your hormones by:

• Avoiding stress — stress causes the over-production of hormones

• Using relaxation techniques, such as yoga and deep  breathing

• Avoiding caffeine — caffeine stimulates hormone production

• Exercising — exercise rebalances hormones and reduces stress

• Consuming hormone-regulating foods such as alfalfa, linseed(flaxseed), oats, celery,  parsley, rhubarb, fennel and evening primrose oil (consult with doctor first before starting or stopping diet(s) and/or medicines

• Drinking lots of water

• Avoiding foods stored in plastic packaging

• Eating organic produce when possible

Stress

Stress is often linked to acne, stress causes the production of hormones such as cortisol, which can aggravate acne.  Acnezine controls metabolism to a certain level and tries to strike balance in the cortisol hormone level.
