I Spent Thousands Battling Hormonal Acne, and a $20 Regimen Cured ItThrough a four-year trial-and-error method, I finally found what keeps my acne under control |
At-Home Remedies - $100 Two months after getting the laser, I lost faith in medical solutions for my skin. I figured I was being way too harsh with my skin (my face was still red) and I started looking into at-home remedies.
I tried a honey mask and baking soda scrub, which didn't do anything for me. I also tried oatmeal, avocado, clay and even kitty litter as mask ingredients. Clearly, I was desperate. Since literally NOTHING was working, I decided to get my blood checked and have an allergy test — I thought there must be something wrong with me medically to cause this kind of acne.
My blood test and allergies checked out, which actually kind of disappointed me. I thought if my acne was the result of, say, hyperthyroidism, I'd be able to pinpoint the cause and treat it, or at least know that there was a reason behind my breakouts.
