Raise your hand if you also experienced post-birth control acne! 🙋‍♀️😅

I took the BC pill in my teens through my early 20s. I had clear skin before I went on the pill, but after I stopped taking it, I suddenly broke out in cystic acne.

To go from clear skin to red, inflamed, painful breakouts all over my face and back was AWFUL. I was devastated and didn’t know what to do, so I sought out dermatologist after dermatologist who all told me the same things:

🚫 Go back on the pill (uh, what?!)
🚫 Use all these harsh topicals (did nothing but irritate my skin)
🚫 Take antibiotics (destroyed my gut)
🚫 Go on Accutan€ (which by that point I did NOT want to do)

I decided to take a root-cause approach and figure out how to heal my skin myself. So I became a naturopathic doctor, figured out how to heal my acne, and now I help women all over the world clear their skin naturally. 🌿✨

Come hang out with me .shannoncurtis and discover how to clear your acne for good! ☀️

Did you get post-BC acne?? ⤵️

Noticing more acne breakouts this spring? 🌿🌸

You’re not alone! It’s super common to experience acne flares as we transition from the “hibernation” of winter into the spring season. Your organs quite literally “wake up” and become more metabolically active - but this can stress your body and lead to breakouts if it’s needing more support.

➡️ Swipe for 3 simple things you can do to help move the stagnation and calm down those spring breakouts.

Hormonal acne isn’t just about your hormones!! 📣 Let me explain…

☀️ But first, comment “RADIANT” below and I’ll send you my free masterclass explaining the root causes of acne and my 3-step method to clear skin. ☀️

I often see these hormone imbalances in those with acne:
➡️ High estrogen
➡️ Low progesterone
➡️ High androgens like testosterone (less common)

But hormones don’t exist in isolation. They’re merely chemical messengers from your endocrine (hormonal) glands that receive information from your nervous system and respond to input from other organs in your body…

…and hormone levels (especially estrogen) are heavily influenced by your ability to properly metabolize them.

Here’s what primarily leads to those hormone imbalances:
✅ insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation
✅ cortisol dysregulation
Insulin & cortisol are two hormones that interact and form the foundation of overall hormone health!

Scroll through for the other causes of ‘hormonal’ acne. ➡️

If you’re not rolling your eyes at these, you’ve been here a long time 😂

As a naturopathic doctor who cleared her cystic acne naturally without meds or harsh topicals (and has helped hundreds of women do the same), here are some odd things that have helped me keep my skin clear ⤵️

✅ I skip the morning face wash
I don’t use a cleanser in the mornings. I just rinse my face with water and put on my moisturizer. Thats it. Your skin doesn’t need to be cleansed twice a day - in fact, this strips your skin of protective lipids and can make your skin more prone to breakouts.

✅ I use tallow on my skin daily
My skin LOVES high-quality tallow balm morning and night. Tallow is full of skin-loving nutrients for a healthy skin barrier. It’s seriously transformed my face.
Is it for everyone with acne-prone skin? No (just like everything isn’t for everyone) but I encourage you to try a solid brand and see how your skin responds to it after a couple weeks.

✅ I’m serious about having daily well-formed bowel movements 💩
Constipation or loose stools are often the first imbalance to show up right before a big breakout. Keep your gut motility moving and your skin won’t have to eliminate for you.

✅ Speak kindly to myself every time I see my reflection in the mirror 🪞
Acne is an outer sign of inner imbalances - including inner emotional wounds. Self-love is a necessary ingredient when it comes to clearing your skin. 💗

Here's how I went from YEARS of cystic acne to clear skin ⬆️

Like me, you’ve probably also tried all the “hypes” out there:
🚫 harsh retinoids & benzoyl peroxide (ouch, the burnnnn)
🚫 meds like antibiotics or spiro (maybe they did something for awhile?)
🚫 the “just quit dairy, sugar and gluten and you’ll have clear skin” trick (sounds so easy, right?!)

These tricks helped for awhile, but it always seemed like the acne came right back. That's because the inner root causes of my acne hadn't been addressed - including the root causes of WHY foods like dairy/sugar/gluten were triggering my breakouts. (They were just fuel to an inflammatory fire - but once that fire was put out, the foods were fine!)

Jawline, neck, or around the ear breakouts? That’s lymphatic stagnation!

Your lymphatics move fluids through your body (like little river channels) and filter out wastes, microbial by-products, and toxins.

When these channels get stagnant - often due to a high toxic burden, dehydration, or lack of movement - this “lymphatic stagnation” can cause your skin to pick up the slack, typically causing breakouts along the lymphatic channels in the neck.

4 simple ways you can help improve lymphatic flow:
☀️Sunlight (stimulates lymphatic circulation)
💧Hydrate with mineral-rich water (your lymph is 95% water)
🏃‍♀️‍➡️ Movement (stimulates lymphatic circulation)
🌿 Clear Skin Tea - my herbal formulation that supports lymphatic flow, liver detoxification, and circulation to the skin

Comment “TEA” and I’ll send the Clear Skin Tea to your DMs! ☕️
