PCOS Can Affect More Than Your Period
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a hormonal condition that can affect the body in several different ways.
Changes in androgen levels, oil production and other hormonal processes may contribute to concerns such as:
- Hormonal and recurring acne
- Oily or congested skin
- Blackheads and clogged pores
- Post-acne marks and uneven skin tone
- Darker-looking skin in certain areas
- Increased facial or body hair
- Scalp hair thinning and hair fall
Not everyone with PCOS will experience all of these concerns. Your routine should focus on what your skin and hair actually need rather than treating every possible symptom.
