Hormones

People suffering from acne often have oily skin. One of the main causes of oily skin is hormonal imbalance.

Some hormonal balances are within our control but unfortunately most are not. Hormonal changes that occur naturally in teens cannot be easily modified. For this reasonm, acne in teens is a condition to manage rather than cure. By paying attention to other acne prevention techniques such as stress, hygens and cosmetics, many times acne can be satisfactorily controlled.

One hormonal imbalance that may be regulated is that which occurs during a females period. For some women, using certain birth control medications can effectively regulate hormone levels enough to treat problem acne.
