Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age.
1. Impact of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) on skin care
The main impact of PCOS is most evident on women’s skin.
Due to an excess of male hormones, oil glands on the face develop strongly.
Women’s skin has many problems due to the effects of PCOS.
In addition, skin areas that secrete a lot of sweat such as the chest and back also appear acne due to hormonal imbalance from within.

In order to limit the factors of PCOS that negatively affect women’s skin care, experts have given advice on specialized beauty ingredients.
