[00:00:00]If you are currently suffering from PMOS, and you're getting severe acne breakouts all the time, your skin care isn't the problem. The issue is your hormones. Now, in PMOS, you have an increase in androgen hormones, which then forces your skin to produce a lot more sebum, and then your skin is now prone to acne breakouts. So, your typical acne cleansers won't work because it doesn't fix the internal problem, which are the hormones. So, here's what you need to do instead. You need to start on salicylic acid cleansers and nice and make serums on a daily basis because it helps control from the outside. However, for PMOS, what you take on the inside to fix your skin is more important. Your body requires zinc and probiotics. Zinc reduces sebum production and controls acne-causing hormones, whereas the probiotics heal your gut from the inside out. So, if you need more information on PMOS, check out the captions below.
