    Default Vitamins and supplements that calm hormones/ prevent spots

    Hi guys, I've been getting spots and lumpy bits on my face and I'm almost certain they are hormonal. Are there any supplements I can take that will calm down my crazy bitch hormones and clear up my skin? I've tried googling this but couldn't find any direct answers.

    I would go talk to an herbal specialist. As far as I know, things caused by hormonal issues cannot be fixed. Like hormonal acne for example. The only thing you can really do is adjust your hormones (get a full panel testing) and eat a really clean diet.

    Are herbs proven to work on hormones?

    Idk if you already take/have tried ACV in water. But taken daily, it's AMAZING for your skin (and it's an anti fungal too)

    There are creams you can apply on skin to help balance hormones/testosterone/estrogen but I seriously would NOT recommend this without seeing a DR first as GR said.

    Is ACV apple Cider Vinegar? I've just googled it and it looks really good.

    I have been taking MSM and Milk thistle for acne and they have really helped. I don't know WHY they work, but my acne is hormonal I'm pretty sure and they seem to be making a difference.

    Do they help with hormonal mood swings? Come to think of it I'm sure my hormones affect my moods as well because I often go from feeling really happy to very on edge and it can't just be co-incidental that I also have all these physical signs of hormone changes like spots, lack of sex drive, bad BO (i know its ew, it's not all the time though). ARgh wish there was just a pill a could take that would make me chill out a bit.

    I'm taking birth control and it helps a bit. I wondered if there was anything else that would be able to balance my crazy lady chemicals. Maybe this is just something I'm going to have to live with bleugh
