Hormones can cause not only physical effects,but mental as well...forgtfulness,depression, etc. try dinking plenty of water to flush your hormones, and keep your brain and skin hydrated (many people are chronically dehydrated,and this can effect mental clarity as well). I've tried SAW PALMETTO to help balance my hormones.I'v noticed an improvement in my skin. breakouts have stoped, and more importantly...i've noticed an increase in circulation which has given my skin tone a healthier look, and has helped my skin (and the scars left from acne) heal faster. Also...there is a salon altenative to expensive DERMABRASION (about$2500)called MiCRODERMABRASION (about $125 per sesion) it's helpful.
