Hormonal acne happens to the best of us and that’s ok!
Why does hormonal acne happen?
For women: Hormones change constantly during a woman's menstrual cycle, as we get older, pregnancy, and hormonal imbalances due to stress, eating habits, etc.
For men: Men's hormones fluctuates as well. Since men has more testosterone they secret more oils which in turn results in more clogged pores. Stress, exercise, sexual intercourse, age, and your genetic profile all contribute to changes in your testosterone production.

For Women: Take note of when you have a breakout to better understand when and how they are formed. Starting a journal may help to chart your breakouts and events that occurred during the breakout.
For Men: Make sure that you are cleaning your skin and facial hair 2x a day to prevent bacterial buildup in the follicles and pores.
