Understanding Hormonal Acne:

Hormonal acne is typically caused by fluctuations in hormones, particularly androgens, which can increase sebum production and lead to clogged pores and inflammation.

Nutritional Approaches for Clearer Skin:

1. Balance Blood Sugar:

   - Opt for low-glycemic foods to help regulate insulin levels, which can affect hormone balance.

   - Include complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your meals.

2. Increase Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

   - Consume fatty fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds to reduce inflammation.

3. Boost Zinc Intake:

6. Stay Hydrated:

   - Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins and keeps skin hydrated.

7. Consider Dairy Alternatives:

   - Some studies suggest a link between dairy consumption and acne in some individuals.

   - Try plant-based milk alternatives if you suspect dairy may be triggering your acne.
