Hormones & Holidays - Support your skin (and stress!) with this Holistic approach to annoying Acne & Hormonal Shifts

As the colder months settle in and the holiday season ramps up, you may notice your skin acting up more than usual. Why does this happen right before all the events, right?

The stress can be real - Your hormones don’t love this invitation to the party either. 

With hormonal changes triggered by environmental changes, seasonal shifts, holiday stress, and less sunlight, acne can become an unwanted guest this time of year. 

But don't worry, we have a few easy to help you keep your breakouts at bay. 

Hormonal fluctuations during fall and winter, particularly with changes in temperature and stress levels, can wreak havoc on your skin. These shifts often lead to increased oil production, clogged pores, and persistent breakouts. Combined with the hustle of the holidays, it’s no surprise that you may struggle with surprise skin issues during this time.

The good news? 

Managing hormonal acne goes beyond just a skincare routine. At Bonita Medical Aesthetics, we believe in a holistic approach to balance both your skin and stress that includes lifestyle and treatments to support you through this season:

Medical-Grade Skincare: Using professional-grade products designed to target acne at the root level is key. These products are formulated with powerful ingredients like retinoids and salicylic like our ZO Acne Treatment pads to clear pores, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture. 

Personalized Treatments: Whether it’s chemical peels, laser therapy, or customized facials, these in-office treatments can give your skin the extra boost it needs. We tailor treatments to address your skin’s unique needs, speeding up healing and helping prevent future breakouts. At Bonita, we offer an Acne Clarifying Facial that helps to clear blemishes. This treatment is 75-minute long and uses therapeutic techniques to soothe irritated skin associated with hormones and stress. What a moment of bliss during a busy season!

Lifestyle Adjustments: Hormonal acne isn’t just about skin care — It’s about managing stress, sleep, hydration and nutrition. This can be a big challenge to manage in between late night parties, deadlines, and kid concerts with the body’s desire for rest and regulation. We are here to help you navigate stress with our many services and answer any nutritional questions you have about skin from the inside out. Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated are key to flushing out toxins, preventing dehydration, and supporting a glowing complexion. And maybe skip that last espresso martini — It’s one small step for your skin’s sake!

At Bonita, we believe this combination of medical-grade skincare, personalized treatments, and lifestyle support ensures your skin stays clear, balanced, and glowing all winter long.
