Hormone Imbalances: Estrogen, Testosterone, and DHEA are known to increase the production of sebum and are linked to acne. However, underproduction of sebum can lead to dry skin and wrinkles. Estrogen maintains skin’s thickness, collagen, elasticity, and moisture. Excess testosterone, in both men and women, can cause acne on the face, back or chest. A healthy Progesterone level is needed to benefit skin elasticity. Growth Hormone is important for skin cell repair and prevention of saggy skin. Cortisol imbalances will promote the aging of skin. DHEA levels decrease with stress, aging and menopause and a healthy DHEA level is needed to improve skin moisture and to create smoother, younger looking skin.
Radiant skin that feels soft and smooth can be yours with the right treatment approach. The most effective solutions will address the root cause of your skin condition.
