Hormonal imbalance can often show up first on your face, giving early clues about your internal health. Here are 5 facial symptoms you should never ignore:
- Persistent Acne:
If pimples appear repeatedly on your chin, jawline, or cheeks, it may signal hormonal fluctuations — especially excess androgens or PCOS-related imbalance. - Unusual Facial Hair Growth:
Sudden or thick hair on the chin or upper lip can indicate high testosterone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). - Dark Circles or Puffiness:
Chronic hormonal stress, poor adrenal function, or thyroid problems can cause dark circles or puffiness under the eyes. - Dry or Oily Skin:
Estrogen or thyroid hormone changes can make your skin unusually dry or excessively oily, hinting at imbalance. - Pigmentation or Dullness:
Hormonal issues, especially during pregnancy, menopause, or due to thyroid problems, can cause melasma or uneven skin tone.
