Breakouts along the jaw and chin, oily or dull skin — if PCOS is affecting your skin, you're not imagining it. Because PCOS skin issues start on the inside, the most effective approach works from within and without.
Why PCOS affects your skin
Higher androgen (male hormone) levels can increase oil production and clog pores, leading to hormonal acne. Insulin resistance and inflammation can make it worse.
1. Support hormones from within
Steadying blood sugar and supporting hormonal balance is the foundation of clearer skin. Herbs like Shatavari, Vitex and Stinging Nettle are traditionally used to support hormonal balance.
2. Antioxidants for clarity
Amla (rich in Vitamin C), Manjistha, Vitamin E and Zinc are traditionally used to support skin clarity and antioxidant defence.
3. Collagen building blocks
Amino acids like L-Cysteine, L-Lysine, L-Proline and Glycine support skin structure and resilience from the inside.
4. A simple, gentle routine
Cleanse twice daily, don't over-scrub, use non-comedogenic products, and never skip sunscreen.
5. Sleep, stress and water
Rest, calm and hydration show up on your skin. Don't underestimate the basics.
Support from the inside out
Her Health combines skin-supporting botanicals, antioxidants, zinc and collagen amino acids with hormonal and metabolic support — because clear skin with PCOS starts within.
