Joy Kong, MD explains why acne is often systemic rather than skin-deep. Hormonal dysregulation, disrupted microbiome, and hormone disruptors trigger inflammation and clogged pores. Fixing the underlying hormonal imbalance clears skin and improves overall health.
There are all kinds of molecules that can cause, let's say, ph imbalance, can disrupt the microbiome, can clog pores, can cause inflammatory reactions, and can cause oxidative damages. Or they go inside your body and become hormone disruptors. Acne is well known for being the hormone dysregulation problem. So if you can correct the hormone problems, all of a sudden, all the acnes go away. So, you know, even if something is surfacing as a skin problem, a lot of times it's a systemic problem. So if you can remove these unknown substance to the body, then you're living a clean and harmonious life, right? So all your cells can function normally and your system can function normally. Your skin is a really wonderful reflection of how things are going on inside your body. You have beautiful, clear, radiant skin. That says a lot about the state of your health.
