Struggling with hormonal acne, hyperpigmentation or other skin problems? | News Article

This month, "Health Focus with MNI" discusses how SkinVance + Zinc can help optimize your skin health by combating the effects of insulin resistant polycystic ovary syndrome, and hormonal imbalance on the skin.

SkinVance + Zinc contains a unique blend of plant-derived phytochemical ingredients and nutrients that optimise skin health, combat hormonal acne and alleviate skin inflammation in the presence of Insulin resistance. 

It can be used by anyone who is experiencing poor skin health as a result of hormonal imbalance or change (during teen years or menopause), poor blood sugar control or some combination of the two. SkinVance + Zinc is ideal for those who are trying to improve their skin quality, as well as as an assistive therapy to active medical treatment for acne. You should not take SkinVance + Zinc if you are hypersensitive or allergic to any of the active or inactive ingredients of SkinVance + Zinc.  Do not take SkinVance + Zinc if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Insulin resistance has several pathological skin manifestations which include:

  • Hormonal acne (especially during teen years or menopause)
  • Androgenetic alopecia
  • Hirsutism (excess hair)
  • Skin pigmentation (acanthosis nigricans)
  • Development of skin tags or polyps (acrochordons) in regions such as the neck, armpits, and groin.
  • Skin inflammation

Insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have also been strongly associated with other skin disorders such as psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and draining pits in regions such as the armpits, buttocks, and groin.

These pathological skin changes all happen as a result of the hormonal effects that elevated insulin levels have either directly on cellular structures in the skin, or indirectly through its regulatory effect on other metabolic pathways involved in the release and regulation of androgenic hormones, inflammatory cytokines, and growth factors.
