Hormonal Acne/ Birth Control Skin
Hormones, such as androgens, produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands cause the skin to produce sebum.
It is secreted by the pores to protect the skin and remove dead skin cells.
When skin is clear, the ovaries and adrenal glands produce the perfect amount of androgens.
If they produce too much, the body makes too much sebum.
Too much sebum clogs pores, causing bacterial growth which triggers acne.
