Edit What can be done about it?

<p><strong>What can be done about it?</strong></p> <div>Having established that hormonal acne is a very real problem the question is what can be done to help manage it? For any substance/ treatment to help prevent or treat acne it needs to have an effect at any step of the acne causing process.</div> <div> </div> <div>For many women, the contraceptive pill offers a way of overriding normal hormonal fluctuations in the monthly cycle and some of the formulations are known to be “skin friendly”.</div> <div>Good skin hygiene is critical. Showering after exercise removes the excess sweat, dirt and oil that can contribute to blocking the pores.</div> <div> </div> <div>Using clinically effective skincare products that can help to unblock pores, regulate oil production and desensitize the skin to hormonal changes are all logical options.</div> <div> </div> <div>In summary – hormones are known to exacerbate acne, especially in people who are prone to breakouts – so it makes sense to proactively address the effects and minimise these wherever possible. Tackling the individual factors that are known to lead to acne can be very effective in helping to manage problem skin.</div>
