Treating Hormonal Acne vs Cystic Acne & Managing Clogged Pores

Hormonal changes alone are no joke to push through but it’s even more heartbreaking when they are accompanied by their physical manifestations, in the form of hormonal acne. Acne outbreaks can lead to deep, painful cysts. Cystic acne often results in discomfort and potential scarring. Clogged pores, which can manifest as blackheads and whiteheads, further exacerbate both of these conditions, contributing to the never ending painful and uncomfortable cycle of persistent skin issues.

Luckily, there are ways to treat the underlying problem skincare causes along with their physical counterparts.

How To Manage Hormonal vs Cystic Acne

Not to be confused, hormonal acne and cystic acne are different forms of breakouts that require different treatments.

How To Manage Hormonal Acne Naturally

Dietary Modifications: Eating healthy can be a huge positive change in your skincare routine. Diet affects everything we do and often dietary changes will attribute to a clear, healthier, more radiant skin.

Stress Management: Stress is a major acne trigger. Going through life changing situations? Life is life, nothing we can do to change that. What you can work on is your overall attitude and your outlook. Consider prayer, journaling, reading or relaxing but healthy activities such as paddleboarding as part of your hormonal acne treatment plan.

Proper Skincare Routine: Use non-pore-clogging skincare products and maintain a consistent cleansing routine can help manage acne. I will list our healthy natural skincare products that will aid you on your journey to a clear skin and a healthier you.

How To Treat Cystic Acne Naturally

Dietary Considerations: Herbal teas really help calm down the affected cystic areas and aid in overall health inside and out. Read this blog post about my 3 favorite teas as part of a healthy daily diet to treat acne.

Lifestyle Modifications: Stress is the ultimate worst when it comes to everything. Life can feel so heavy sometimes. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself and to take time to breathe deeply and engage in stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, or regular exercise to balance those overactive hormones.

Topical Applications: Choose natural skincare products that are rich in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. With the right daily routine, you can fight back against even the worst painful and deeply seeded cysts over time.

How To Treat Clogged Pores Naturally

Gentle Cleansing: Wash your face twice daily using a gentle face soap.

Clay Masks: Incorporate clay masks into your skincare routine once or twice a week.

Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can clog pores. Dead skin can be removed gently once or twice a week to prevent irritation.

Balanced Diet and Hydration: Maintain a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support skin health. Drinking adequate water keeps the skin hydrated and may help regulate oil production.

How Our Green Tea Dark Spot Corrector Transforms Lives

Jordan had been struggling with chin/neck hair since high school when she began tweezing the hair due to embarrassment. As a result, she developed discoloration, redness, scarring and inflammation. She continued tweezing her skin because she didn’t know what else to do even though she was insecure about the skin issues that it created.

During the pandemic, her mother shared my Charcoal Mask with Matcha Green Tea with her and she used it once a week. She began to notice that it significantly helped to draw out impurities in her skin and decrease inflammation. She then purchased the Green Tea Dark Spot Corrector because she was still struggling with dark spots under her chin where she tweezed. She only used 2 to 3 drops under her chin and within 2 weeks she experienced lightening of the dark spots and scarring.

She stated that she used the Dark Spot Corrector twice a day after washing her face and using toner for a month and then posted a YouTube Video of her results because she wanted other people to experience results as well. She shared that she vouches for it wholeheartedly because it’s amazing and affordable. She recommends that other people struggling with these issues purchase it. It will save your life she says. She always tags or shares with others that are looking for skincare products. She stressed that consistency is key to see results.
