 Women
and Premenstrual Acne
Studies show that many women suffer from some level of premenstrual
acne. It is estimated that the number of these women is somewhere
around the 44 percent mark! 44 percent! That is nearly half
of all women.
Premenstrual acne does not appear to be influenced by ethnicity;
however, age does play a minor role. Women over the age of
33 tend to experience a higher occurrence of premenstrual
acne.
Premenstrual acne is largely a result of hormones. During
a woman’s monthly cycle an increase in the hormones
called androgens are produced. This hormone is a leading contributor
to premenstrual acne. Androgens cause the sebaceous glands
and hair follicles in the skin to be stimulated. When this
happens an excess of oil can be produced. When mixed with
bacteria and dead skin cells, pores can become clogged resulting
in acne flare-ups. Certain oral contraceptives can also be
a contributing factor in premenstrual acne in some cases.
There are a number of treatments that can aid in the prevention
of premenstrual acne. Zenmed’s Derma Cleanse is one
of the leading acne treatment products available for the prevention
and treatment of most types of acne.
