Most people make the mistake of scrubbing their skin and damaging it. The skin layer is filled with millions of friendly microbes that protect the skin. Cleansing the skin sterilizes it, thus causing acne to come back due to the wrong bacteria. Taking antibiotics is not a long term solution because it develops resistant bacteria. Medications like Accutane can also have some serious side-effects. Understanding the sebaceous gland is key. There are 5 things happening: 1. Inflammation 2. Plugged pores 3. Excess oil or sebum and bacteria 4. Enlarged sebaceous gland 5. Excess skin formation The sebaceous gland is very sensitive to two sex hormones: 1. Androgens Androgens increase the size of the gland and oil production. This can come from PCOS, which I believe is really excess insulin. Insulin resistance is the real cause. An increase in a certain enzyme can also turn testosterone into DHT (a powerful form of testosterone), which can cause high androgens. The best thing to take may be: • Vitamin A (virgin cod liver oil) • Vitamin B5 • Zinc  2. Estrogen Estrogen dominance (excess estrogen) can also cause hormonal acne, which is connected to a menstrual cycle. Typically the liver can not clear excess estrogen. This causes a build-up of acne. Certain medications can also cause this. The enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone into DHT (a powerful form of testosterone) can be triggered in excess due to liver dysfunction. If this happens, add more cruciferous vegetables or, better yet, DIM, which is a concentrated form of cruciferous. Stinging nettle root is a great plant to add as well. I combined DIM with cruciferous vegetables and stinging nettle root in my product called Estrogen Balance with DIM as listed at the top of this description—check it out.
