In this episode of Balanced Beauty Talks, we're diving into the world of herbs and hormone-supporting supplements that work from the inside out to support clear, balanced skin, especially for those struggling with acne.

If you’ve tried everything topically and are still breaking out, it might be time to look deeper. Today, we unpack the role of liver support herbs like Milk Thistle, NAC, and Dandelion Root, the blood-sugar balancing power of Berberine, and the hormonal helpers like DIM, Spearmint Tea, Vitex, and Inositol. From detoxifying your system to calming inflammation and rebalancing hormones, these herbal and functional tools could be the missing piece in your skin journey.

Inside the Episode:

• Why your liver’s ability to detox hormones is key to clearing acne
• How Milk Thistle and NAC reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
• What Berberine can do for blood sugar, candida, and skin bacteria
• Natural hormone-balancing tools that may help with cystic acne, irregular cycles, and PCOS
• The power of pairing herbal supplements with whole-food nutrition
• When to use caution and why personalization matters

⚠️ Important Reminder: These herbs and supplements are powerful tools, but they’re not a one-size-fits-all fix. Always consult a qualified practitioner before adding anything new to your wellness routine.

If you’re looking for a more holistic, inside-out approach to your acne treatment, this episode is full of insight, practical tips, and thoughtful guidance.
