Breakout Prone & Imbalanced Skin

When balance is disrupted

Breakouts are not always the result of excess oil or clogged pores. Stress can alter hormone levels, increase inflammation, and disrupt the skin barrier — all of which contribute to breakouts.

Imbalanced skin may feel oily in some areas and dry or tight in others. Over-treating with harsh acne products can worsen this imbalance, leading to increased sensitivity and recurring breakouts.

Menteath supports breakout-prone skin by focusing on calming inflammation and restoring balance, rather than aggressively stripping the skin.

This skin state often includes:

Stress-related breakouts
Congestion without excess oil
Sensitivity alongside blemishes
Fluctuating skin behaviour

Why it works for imbalanced skin

A gentle reminder

Breakout-prone skin often responds better to calm, consistency, and balance than to aggressive treatments. Supporting the skin barrier and nervous system can play an important role in restoring clarity over time.
