Description

Are you constantly battling shine and breakouts, especially on your jawline? If you've been told you just have "oily skin," you're only getting half the story. It's time to stop fighting your skin and start understanding it.

In this episode, accredited dermatologist Dr. TWL uncovers the real reason your skin is overproducing oil. We dive deep into the science of sebum to reveal how your hormones are the true masterminds behind your breakouts.

Listen to learn:

  • The specific hormonal trigger (DHT) that sends your oil glands into overdrive.

  • Why harsh, drying treatments actually make your oily skin and acne worse in the long run.

  • The hidden "factory" in your skin (5-alpha reductase) and how to slow it down.

  • A powerful botanical secret, Saw Palmetto, that can help re-educate your skin and restore balance from within.

This isn't about temporary fixes; it's about creating long-term skin health.
