How to Balance Hormones to Control Blackheads
A blackhead is a yellow or black plug on the skin. Blackheads are caused by the pore being clogged with excess oils that the body has produced. Blackheads are not a health risk, but can be problematic all the same. A blackhead breakout is not only frustrating to deal with, but can also be embarrassing. Our face is the first thing that people notice about us, and when we have blemishes, we feel self-conscious and insecure. Blackheads can affect anyone at any age, and can be controlled by keeping our hormones balanced.

Change your eating habits. Adding more fruits and vegetables and eliminating fried and greasy foods will help prevent breakouts and keep your hormones balanced. Try eating more carrots, nuts, eggs, tomatoes and baked fish. They contain essential vitamins and nutrients that can help eliminate blackheads.

Stay away from frozen, processed and fried foods. Those foods lack nutritional value and can throw your hormone levels off. Eat frozen, processed and fried foods in moderation only.

Add a vitamin B6 supplement to restore normal hormone balance. When either testosterone or estrogen levels are off, a blackhead breakout can occur. Take 50mg of vitamin B6 three times a day to get those hormone levels back on track.

4
Take 50mg of zinc with each meal to reduce blackhead breakouts. Zinc is an essential mineral that contributes to tissue regeneration and inflammation control and promotes healthy skin. Zinc can interfere with your copper absorption, so talk to your physician before adding a zinc supplement to your dietary regimen.

Exercise three to five times a week for at least thirty minutes. Exercise has been shown to balance the hormones that control oil production in our skin, thus reducing the probability of a blackhead breakout.
