Ever wonder why your skin flares up even when you're doing everything right on the surface? In this episode of The Mindspace Archive, we dive deep beneath the skin—literally. We're unraveling the powerful connection between your gut, hormones, stress levels, and how they all work together (or against you) to impact skin health, especially when it comes to hormonal acne.
You’ll learn how the gut-skin axis works, why a troubled gut microbiome can trigger inflammation that shows up on your face, and how hormones like androgens, estrogen, and progesterone play a role in oil production and breakouts. We also break down how chronic stress and high cortisol sneakily sabotage your skin from the inside out.
But don’t worry—it’s not all science and no solution. We wrap it up with real, actionable tips to heal your gut, balance your hormones naturally, and reduce stress so your skin can thrive. If you’re ready to glow from the inside out, this one’s for you.
