Are we beautiful? Most people do not believe that they are beautiful if they have flawless and beautiful skin. This is mainly because they are not comfortable with their skin. Millions of people are moving around with broken hearts because they are not happy with how their faces look, they are not okay with a few pimples that keep popping on their cheeks, and they are not comfortable having black spots on their foreheads. The glow on their skin is what gives people confidence and pride. Here is how you can understand your skin better and know why it behaves and how it does.
Acne and Under Eye Dark Circle
Hormonal imbalances in the human body occur when too little or too much hormone is in the bloodstream. They have an essential role in the body, and any slight imbalance causes a side effect. Over-production of hormones that produce oil in the skin causes acne. The excess fat clogs pores and attracts bacteria that lead to skin inflammation. The hormones involved in polycystic ovary syndrome have also caused women to experience persistent and severe acne. The under-eye dark circles are a result of adrenal fatigue. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is highly produced when your stress levels increase. This hormone makes you feel restless and lacks sleep causing dark circles around your skin.
Dry Skin and Skin Tags
Hormonal imbalance can cause that rough and flaky skin you have been complaining about. This is major because any level fall or reproductive hormones like estrogen cause a decrease in sebum oil production, leading to dry skin. Dry skin can also result from the thyroid hormone hampering your blood circulation. Have you noticed tiny growths of skin around your eyelids or neck? Skin tags occur when there is a compromise of glucose and insulin hormone. Estrogen reduces drastically when these hormones change, overlapping the skin layers. Friction between skin layers is what causes skin tags.
Get Help
You need to seek professional help, especially if you think the issues you have on your skin can have hormonal imbalances as the cause. Talk to a doctor specializing in hormonal treatments and get to know the hormones responsible for messing with your skin. Here you are also going to get medication and advice.
Understand You Skin Type
To have the perfect skin you have always wanted, you need to understand your skin type before figuring out ways to take care of it. You may not have enough knowledge to conclude the skin type you possess, and this is where a dermatologist comes in. Visit a dermatologist or a skin expert you trust and let them perform a skin type assessment of you. It helps you choose skin products having your skin type in mind.
Conclusion
We all desire to have beautiful and glowing skin. Most important, good skincare starts with loving and accepting your skin first before wanting better. This journey begins with understanding your skin type first and getting yourself products that work for your skin. You may also want to go further and take care of your skin by creating a skincare routine, protecting yourself from the sun, treating your skin gently, and eating a healthy diet.
