How to cure/minimize hormonal acne?
I'm an 18-year-old girl and I've always struggled with acne. It's made me very self-conscious and embarrassed at times. My face is never without a huge pimple. In order to stop it I do all the stuff I should do. I wash my face morning and night (religiously), exfoliate, use topical acne products, tone and moisturize. All products are professional and in line with my skin type. And yet, it doesn't t go away. I don t have a super oily face. It's combination, a little oily in the t-zone and dry on my cheeks. Its the type of acne where it is only here and there, but each imperfection is big and very sensitive to the touch. Sometimes the pimples will ache they hurt so bad. I m almost 100% sure it's hormonal because I break out with 10 or more of these on my face right around my time of the month.
So if anyone can help me figure out what I m doing wrong or if there is anything I can take to minimize it, please let me know.
Oh! I should also mention I don t want to go on birth control or accutane. I just don t want to. Thank you in advance for the advice!

Use soap, NOT DETERGENTS to clean your face. Combine 1 T apple cider vinegar and 3 T water. Dip a cotton ball in this solution and dab it on your acne let it air dry. Stop applying makeup. If you must moisturize dab a little coconut oil on one finger distribute it onto your fingertips and apply sparingly. apple cider vinegar and coconut oil are both antibiotic and will stop and prevent the bacterial infections which cause acne. But you may need to see a dermatologist.

It’s better to take natural treatments as these are free of the side effects. So you can try tea tree oil which reduces the inflammation that can lead to acne. While using this oil, mix it with carrier oils like coconut, jojoba, and olive oil and apply it.

First of all it's ok to have pimples. That's normal. Don't come to a thought that it is a hormonal acne without testing it in Endocrinology. Always check the products you use, check out the ingredients. Check out your daily routine. Don't stuff yourself with lots of medicines. Consume less oily and junk foods. You have to take care of yourself. Take care of health.
