Breakouts that bloom along your jawline a week before your period aren’t random—they’re hormonal signals. We unpack how the menstrual cycle shapes your skin, why low progesterone lets androgens run the show, and how insulin swings, inflammation, and sluggish detox pathways keep cystic acne on repeat. You’ll hear a clear, practical framework for understanding PMS acne and a plan to calm it without chasing yet another serum.

We start by mapping the follicular and luteal phases in plain language, then connect the dots: when progesterone underperforms, estrogen becomes unbuffered, androgen activity climbs, and pores clog. We explain why lab tests can read “normal” while your face tells a different story—the issue is often receptor sensitivity fueled by infections, mold exposure, oxidative stress, or blood sugar instability. If you also see mid‑cycle flares, we break down the temporary estrogen and testosterone bump around ovulation and the common role of insulin dysregulation.

Next, we move into action. You’ll get five immediate steps to lower the volume on hormonal acne: stabilize blood sugar with structured meals, protect sleep to lower cortisol, ensure daily bowel movements for estrogen clearance, remove inflammatory triggers like sugar, dairy, and gluten, and train your stress response with short, twice‑daily flow sessions. These shifts support optimal ovulation, strengthen progesterone signaling, and reduce the flare window. For lasting results, we share why targeted testing matters—GI mapping to assess the gut, organic acids for cellular function, and oxidative stress insights to personalize detox and antioxidant support.

Our goal is bigger than clear skin. By fixing the systems that drive acne—hormones, gut health, detox, and the nervous system—you gain steadier moods, fewer PMS symptoms, better digestion, and sustainable energy.
