In this video, Dr. Joaquín Puerma - endocrinologist, nutritionist, and author of the book 'Your Hormones Matter' - reveals how hormones influence acne development, particularly highlighting the role of androgens, insulin, and growth hormone. He explains how factors like high-glycemic index foods (which spike insulin levels and stimulate sebum production) and chronic stress (which increases cortisol, disrupts skin microbiota, and worsens seborrhea) serve as key triggers. Furthermore, Dr. Puerma provides comprehensive recommendations combining nutritional habits, sleep routines, and stress management to prevent breakouts, emphasizing that hormonal balance is the foundation for healthy skin.

Dr. Joaquin Puerma, an endocrinologist and nutritionist, and author of the book "Your Hormones Matter", explains how hormones influence our skin health, revealing that this organ not only reflects our internal state but also acts as a sophisticated endocrine system. The skin actively participates in key processes such as vitamin D synthesis and responds to hormones like cortisol. Furthermore, it maintains a close interaction with the nervous system through the skin-brain axis. This hormonal connection makes the skin an excellent indicator of internal imbalances. Thus, hormonal care becomes an essential pillar for maintaining healthy skin.
