If a picture is worth a thousand words, then hormone testing is worth a year in guesswork when it comes to acne. It’s important that hormone testing is done at the right time of your cycle though, otherwise these results can be seemingly pointless in revealing a hormonal imbalance. Here’s when to get all hormones related to acne tested.
We are given so many falsities about our own hormonal health as women… falsities like “taking the pill will regulate your hormones and clear your acne“. Well, that’s entirely untrue. If you’re sick of being on the roller coaster of being told that the pill or antibiotics are the only way to help your hormonal acne, read this.
I can’t tell you how many times I get asked this question before people book in to work with me. Coming off the Pill is important to help get your hormones back into function - but so is having good nutrition and stress management! If you’re feeling a little lost with what step one is in helping your acne or you’re dreading coming off the Pill because you know that post-pill acne is going to happen, this is for you.
