Many of the effects that hormones have on the body are internal. But there’s definitely one way that fluctuating hormones are visible to us: acne.
If you’re someone who’s had a few periods already, you probably know when you’re most likely to break out. Or, alternatively, when your hormones are most likely to help your skin look it’s healthiest. But when it comes to skin appearance, there are quite a few factors to keep in mind about what’s under our control—and what’s under the influence of our hormones.
