Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,

and I'm going to tell you all my secrets about navigating hormonal acne.

I know you guys are suffering. Maybe you've faced the dreaded period breakout. Maybe you wonder why

your skin is flaring during pregnancy, during menopause, perimenopause, all the times when we do not need breakouts. We want clear,

gorgeous, beautiful skin, and we are getting hormonal acne. Our latest podcast today, we're
