Listen Later

💡 How do hormones, acne, and excess facial hair connect—and what can women of color do about it?

In this episode of The SKIN Report, Dr. Simran Sethi explores how polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) leads to acne and unwanted hair growth, and why these symptoms can be even more challenging for women with deeper skin tones. From medications like spironolactone to treatments like laser hair removal, Dr. Sethi shares expert advice on managing PCOS safely and effectively.

👉 Topics covered:

✔️ What is PCOS and how it affects the skin

✔️ The role of androgens in acne and facial hair growth

✔️ How spironolactone works (and who it’s right for)

✔️ Why laser hair removal isn’t one-size-fits-all for skin of color

✔️ Safe skincare routines for acne and hyperpigmentation

✔️ Tips on exfoliation, retinol, moisturizers, and more
