Hormones and Zits. What does one have to do with the other?
By Pamela Conoly
Do hormones and zits have anything to do with each other?
You betcha!
Hormones are like semi-conductors in an electronic grid.
A sort of a blue print of your system.
When we think our hormones are out of wack,you know,hot
flashes,irritability,headaches,etc. Not to mention zits!
Actually,if our hormones are working properly,zits are your
body’s way of throwing off impurities just like sweating but
in a different way. You may wake up one morning with an
unusually oily face. This can also be triggered by the time of
the month,stress,adverse conditions,and what I like to call happy
nervousness like getting married,for instance,or buying a new car,
or a first date.
No matter how well you watch your diet or takes care of your skin
sometimes hormones can be triggered into doing things that will
cramp your style. No pun intended!
So what are you supposed to do about these so called “hormone
attackes”? Well,there is really nothing you can do about them
except relax,make a nice cup of herbal tea,grab your favorite book,
and draw a nice herbal bath to soak in.
Hormones are not just a phase they will always be with us. We
would be in trouble without them. Hair would not grow and we
would all look like aliens from Mars,or where ever.
Now,I am not unsympathetic to people that have a hard time with
this. Some women get rashes every month or grow hair in unwanted
places. If you experience things like this or worse that are very
bothersome and becomes hard to cope you should talk to your Doctor
and not be embarrassed about it.Doctors do not write everything off
as the change of life,which is why some women are afraid to talk about
it. The truth is,Doctors can help a lot when it comes to hormone therapy,
or just dealing with the symptoms you are going through.
A lot of people don’t realize that these problems can severely debilitate
your countenance (the way you feel about your self or your over all
mental health). Don’t let fearing that you will be laughed at stop you
from simply getting help for it. You will feel and look better and no
one will laugh.
****This has nothing to do with mental health as a condition.
