How to Use MINDBODYSKIN for Acne Treatment

The Holistic Way to Treat Hormonal Acne

Are you struggling with acne and seeking a holistic alternative to harsh pharmaceuticals? MINDBODYSKIN offers a revolutionary way to control acne at its source by addressing root causes from the inside out. Unlike traditional treatments that only focus on surface-level symptoms, MINDBODYSKIN targets the core issues contributing to breakouts, including improper digestion, hormone imbalances, sluggish liver function, stress, and inflammation—all at once.

5 Causes of Acne

1. Pore-Clogging Ingredients: Many products, from makeup to haircare, contain comedogenic ingredients that can block pores and lead to breakouts. Remember: “Natural” and “organic” do not mean “acne-safe.” Organic coconut oil will just give you organic pimples. There is also a major difference between things that are good to put in your body vs. on your skin. Opt for non-comedogenic products and use our Pore-Clogging Checker to identify the ingredients in your products.
2. Diet: A diet high in sugar, dairy, and processed foods can trigger acne by increasing insulin levels, resulting in boosted sebum production and inflammation.
3. Excess Vitamin Dosage: While vitamins are essential for skin health, excessive intake of certain vitamins, like Vitamin D, B12, and iodine, can exacerbate acne in some individuals.
4. Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in hormones, especially androgens (testosterone), can increase sebum production and clog pores, leading to acne.
5. Stress: Stress increases cortisol levels, which can worsen acne by boosting inflammation and oil production.

How to Use MINDBODYSKIN

Daily Usage:

• Dosage: Take 1-3 capsules daily with a meal to ensure optimal absorption. Because it has digestive enzymes, you should never take it on an empty stomach!

• Pore-Clogging Checker: Double-check if any of your current skincare products contain pore-clogging ingredients using our Pore-Clogging Checker tool.

Dietary Adjustments:

• Reduce Excess Sugar: High sugar intake can spike insulin levels, leading to increased sebum production and inflammation, which can exacerbate acne.
• Eliminate Common Triggers: Consider cutting out gluten, dairy, and eggs from your diet temporarily to determine if these foods are contributing to your acne. Reintroduce them one at a time to identify your personal threshold.
• Monitor Vitamin Intake: While vitamins are essential, excessive amounts of vitamin D, B12, biotin, and ashwagandha can sometimes aggravate acne. Ensure you're not exceeding the recommended daily intake for these supplements.

Lifestyle Tips:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out toxins and keep your skin hydrated.
• Sleep and Stress Management: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and incorporate stress-reducing practices such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help balance hormones and reduce acne triggers.
