You can fall prey to hormonal acne if your hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol are out of whack. These hormones are intricately associated with the health of a female and their imbalance can fuel many problems including hormonal acne. Notice when you are stressed acne makes a guest appearance to add it to it!

When there is an increased level of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone in a female body it causes excessive production of sebum which can accumulate bacteria in it leading to inflammation and a breakout. Cortisol the stress hormone can affect the production of all these hormones.
