Just when you began to see the brighter side of menopause, you start breaking out like a teenager!  Welcome to menopausal acne.  This condition typically occurs in thick skinned, large pored, formerly oily women. Acne lesions consist mostly of low grade, closed comedones (whiteheads), which are relatively small, noninflamed raised bumps. Skin often feels grainy, bumpy, or textured. As you enter your menopausal years, your production of estrogen and progesterone declines creating androgen imbalance and adrenal stress, which results in more sebum and the potential for breakouts.  Many of our acne treatments at 916 come with the added perk of anti-aging benefits.  Let 916 get you clear!
