Your cause of acne is... Hormonal Changes
Woot woot, your results are in, friend! According to your responses, your acne is caused by hormonal changes, but no sweat, we can sort this out. So why do hormonal changes cause acne?
Elevated levels of androgens (like testosterone) can change your skin cell activity, which creates inflammation and bacterial buildup in your pores and hair follicles. Hormonal changes are most common during puberty and menopause...
But, luckily, no matter the cause of your acne, there are at home remedies you can use to clear up your complexion without all the expensive antibiotics, medicines, and one-size-fits-all solutions 🙌✨🌿

3 Natural Remedies to Get You Glowing
1. Tea Tree Oil
If you have a painful pimple, tea tree oil is your secret weapon. Because of its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it reduces swelling and redness. Just make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil before use!
2. Raw Honey
Honey is for more than simply spreading on your toast, friend! Because it balances bacteria, it can help with a range of skin issues, including acne. Try mixing it with lemon and baking soda for a soothing mask.
3. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera contains salicylic acid, which penetrates the oil on your skin and loosens the dead skin cells that often cause acne. Look for a moisturizer with aloe vera and add it to your skincare routine.

Your cause of acne is... Genetics
Woot woot, your results are in, friend! According to your responses, your acne is caused by genetics, but no sweat, we can sort this out. So how do genetics cause acne?
It could come down to any number of factors. Perhaps your mom has a hormonal disorder or your dad has a strong inflammatory response that makes you extra sensitive to dead skin cells and bacteria. If both of your parents have had acne, you're almost certain to experience it yourself.
But, luckily, no matter the cause of your blemishes, there are at home remedies you can use to clear up your complexion without all the expensive antibiotics, medicines, and one-size-fits-all solutions 🙌✨🌿

Your cause of acne is... Diet
Woot woot, your results are in, friend! According to your responses, your acne is caused by your dietary habits, but no sweat, we can sort this out. So what foods actually cause acne?
Sugar, refined grains, and dairy are the biggest offenders. Sugar and refined grains spike your insulin levels, pushing excess sugar into your cells. On the other hand, the proteins in dairy products releases a hormone called IGF, which is known to trigger breakouts.
But, luckily, no matter the cause of your acne, there are at home remedies you can use to clear up your complexion without all the expensive antibiotics, medicines, and one-size-fits-all solutions 🙌✨🌿

Your cause of acne is... Stress
Woot woot, your results are in, friend! According to your responses, your acne is caused by stress, but no sweat, we can sort this out. So why does stress cause acne?
Elevated stress levels cause our skin to produce more oil. This excess oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, clogs our pours, and, voila, whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples appear.
But, luckily, no matter the cause of your acne, there are at home remedies you can use to clear up your complexion without all the expensive antibiotics, medicines, and one-size-fits-all solutions 🙌✨🌿
