Acne during menopause occurs for much the same reason that acne occurs during any other portion of life. When the body's hormones rage, hormones that include estrogen, progesterone, testosteron, and DHEA, the sebaceous glands become sensitive and started producing more sebum than they need to.
Natural remedies and solutions for the control of menopause acne include bioidentical hormone balancing, nutritional supplements, herbals and topical products.
Menopausal hormones are known to affect thyroid balance in some women. Acne epidoses may be controlled or eliminated by addressing low thyroid function or impaired thyroid hormone conversion.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which seeks to restore female hormone balance after menopause, may bring relief from menopause acne breakouts. However, until the balancing is optimal, which can take several months or longer, bioidenticals can actually worsen the breakouts temporarily.
