How EstheGlow Spa Supports the Journey to Clearer Skin: Addressing Hormonal Acne Holistically
Hormonal acne can feel like an uphill battle—persistent breakouts along the jawline, chin, and cheeks that just don’t respond to your usual skincare routine. It’s frustrating, overwhelming, and often misunderstood. At EstheGlow Spa, we understand that healing hormonal acne isn’t just about using the right cleanser or serum—it’s about treating the whole picture. That’s why we take a comprehensive, collaborative approach that considers not only what you put on your skin, but what’s going on inside your body too.
Understanding Hormonal Acne: It’s More Than Just Skin Deep
Hormonal acne is triggered by internal imbalances—typically fluctuations in androgens like testosterone, which increase oil production and lead to clogged pores. This type of acne often resurfaces around menstrual cycles, during periods of high stress, or in conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
Because of these internal factors, traditional over-the-counter acne treatments often fall short. At EstheGlow, we’ve helped clients finally get real results by guiding them to understand what’s causing their breakouts, not just how to hide them.
Skincare Is a Tool—Not a Cure on Its Own
Many clients come to us after trying countless products with little to no improvement. While professional skincare is important, it’s not the only piece of the puzzle when it comes to hormonal acne. We make this clear from the beginning: products can support the healing process, but they can’t fix internal imbalances on their own.
At EstheGlow, we focus on creating a customized skincare plan that uses calming, acne-safe ingredients while avoiding known triggers like pore-clogging oils or overly harsh exfoliants. We rely on gentle enzyme exfoliation, targeted treatments like LED light therapy, and barrier-repairing routines that support healing from the outside in—without causing more inflammation.
Partnering With Your Primary Care Provider
Because hormonal acne often requires internal intervention, we encourage our clients to speak with their primary care doctors or dermatologists to explore possible underlying causes. In many cases, we’ve seen the best results when a client’s esthetician and healthcare provider work together.
For example, a primary care doctor can order hormone panels to check for imbalances, or suggest medications or supplements that address hormonal fluctuations. Once that internal support is in place, your EstheGlow esthetician can recommend product ingredients that complement your medical treatment—for example:
- Niacinamide for calming inflammation and regulating sebum production.
- Azelaic acid for brightening post-acne marks and fighting bacteria.
- Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha or supplements like zinc (suggested by your doctor) to support hormonal balance.
This team approach helps ensure you’re not just treating the surface, but truly addressing what’s happening beneath.
Real Progress Takes Time—and Consistency
Healing hormonal acne is a journey, not a quick fix. Our clients often see the most dramatic improvements over the course of several months, with regular facial treatments and consistent home care. At EstheGlow, we help you track your progress, make adjustments as needed, and stay motivated even through slow periods.
Our goal is always to educate and empower you—not just treat you. We’ll help you understand how stress, sleep, diet, and even the wrong “acne” products could be holding you back. When you have both professional support and a personalized plan, the journey becomes much less overwhelming—and much more effective.
