As a teenager, I thought my hormones were causing my acne until an Angel came along and taught me that Acne is a bacterial infection. Once I embraced that message, I no longer had teenage acne. Hence, as an adult woman, I was also able to avoid hormonal acne. Treating acne as a bacterial infection has proven to be a Great Way to Never It!
Do Hormones Cause Acne?
Our bodies produce chemical substances for growth and rebirth. These are hormones, by definition. Consider:
Hormone Definition According to Oxford Dictionary
“[countable] a chemical substance produced in the body or in a plant that encourages growth or influences how the cells and tissue’s function.; an artificial substance that has similar effects.”
Conversely, Acne is bacterial infection in oil glands. It is accompanied by clotted oil, clogged pores, pimple cores and other inflammation. Consider:
Acne Definition According to Oxford Dictionary
“Inflammation of sebaceous glands which may be exacerbated by infection with the commensal bacterium Propionibacterium acnes. Acne vulgaris is the common type.”
Notice that the two definitions have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, acne is not hormonal. So, why do women get hormonal acne?
Impact of Hormones on Acne
One condition you could attribute to Hormones is high oil production.
This higher oil production is accompanied by the immune system failing to kill bacterial infection. Instead, resources are used by the reproductive system, and nothing is left to kill bacterial infection on the face.
Bacterial Infection Creates Hormonal Acne
Once the oil production is raging and immunity fails to kill bacteria, Bacterial Infection sets in and inflames the pore.
Then, Oil flow slows down or stops, as oil production starts raging!
In addition, skin turnover may trigger dead skin to meet the dried oil, and together they form a pimple core!
That pimple core creates paradise for the bacteria in the oil glands, and the infection explodes. Meanwhile, that core is the barrier between the bacterial infection and skin. If the core is removed, the infection spreads!
Those who clarify pores without killing the bacterial infection may see bright red, patchy skin tones caused by the infection spreading without creating pimples!
To avoid spreading the bacterial infection, the trick is to engage the immune system to kill bacterial infection before clarifying the pore!
To kill that infection before clarifying pore, engage the immune system. It is almost impossible to engage the immune system in the middle of the hormonal cycle. There just is not enough time!
The Solution is to Engage Immune System
The solution to Hormonal Acne is to engage the immune system all month long, so that when the hormonal cycle starts, the immune system never stops killing bacterial infections.
Once you no longer have infection, then clarifying, opening and closing pores at the right stages ensures the perfect complexion.
