When the body produces excessive amounts of hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline, this can lead to an imbalance and potential breakouts. If you notice a pattern in these breakouts, talk to one of our skin experts.
Lifestyle Habits
Smoking, under-cleaning, or taking certain medications- can all be the leading cause of your breakout. Try applying a highly active breakout clearing product to prevent your breakouts.
