Hormones, acne and weight loss

Now that I have been successfully getting my body back on the right track, I notice that my hormones are changing up again. Actually, after 6 months of Aunt-Flow no-show, she is finally here rearing her ugly head. :) Now, I am not a fan of AF. BUT, the fact that she came back is gratifying because it tells me that my body is getting back on the right track to being healthy!

Another thing that has come back is acne. I am forever trying to find the best acne treatment. My hormones are constantly up and down. So sometimes my skin is dry, sometimes it’s oily and other times I find it is oily in spots and dry in spots. I feel like I need a whole slew of products just to combat the different issues.

Has your weight loss affected your hormones or your body in other ways (aside from getting smaller)?

To face my face

Between hormones and oils from not-so-great-for-me foods, my face feels like it is paying the price. It is either dry or oily in spots (never consistent). The only consistent thing about it is that I am in constant break out mode.

It’s hard for me to try and not pick at my face. It seems that I do that in times of stress. I think instead I will look for the best acne treatments. Then perhaps I can stop picking my face and stop breaking out.

Any suggestions on what to use for breakouts?
