Blood Sugar & Acne

Hormones are a normal part of being a teenager, so acne can be part of that journey too. But I don't believe the answer should simply be, "They'll grow out of it." We might not be able to control the hormonal fluctuations happening during puberty, but we can support the skin through them.

In my experience, when clients start to understand the link between blood sugar, insulin, and their skin, things begin to make a lot more sense. And from there, we can start making changes that actually last.

In clinic and online, one of the biggest internal acne triggers I support my clients with is blood sugar dysregulation, and this often shows up more around holidays, birthdays, or busy periods when routines go out the window.
