I have had hormonal acne for almost a decade and this is my routine that my dermatologist prescribed to me. Of course local products can’t help you 100% but they make your life a little bit easier and your confidence better.

I have hormonal acne since I was 10 and few months ago I found out it is caused by PCOS. If you’re dealing with acne, you know how frustrating it can be. These are some of my favorite skincare products that help me deal with my problematic skin. Of course, these products are not intended to treat or cure PCOS or acne. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting supplements or new treatments.

Finding makeup that feels comfortable on acne-prone skin can be a challenge. As someone navigating PCOS and hormonal acne, I prefer products that feel lightweight, blend easily, and let my skin look like skin. These are the makeup products I reach for when I want natural coverage without feeling like I’m wearing a heavy layer of makeup.

One of the symptoms I’ve struggled with while living with PCOS is unwanted body and facial hair. Finding products that make hair removal easier, gentler, and less irritating has become a big part of my self-care routine. Whether you’re dealing with excess hair growth or simply looking for reliable hair removal products, I hope this list helps you find a few new favorites.

Hair thinning has been one of the most challenging parts of my PCOS journey. While no shampoo or hair product can treat PCOS, these are the products I’ve personally enjoyed using to help care for my scalp, strengthen my hair, and make my routine feel a little more enjoyable. These are the products I keep coming back to for healthier-looking, stronger-feeling hair.

It will always be a problem for me to buy gifts for my boyfriend, so if you are tired of buying boring underwear and socks, this is a list of gifts that I bought for my boyfriend and he was delighted.

Having PCOS and acne-prone skin doesn’t mean I have to give up enjoying the sun—but it does mean I’m extra careful about what I put on my skin. I love getting a natural summer glow while making sure my face and body stay protected and hydrated. These are the products I personally reach for during beach days, pool days, and vacations. From lightweight SPFs that don’t break me out to tanning oils and after-sun care, these are my summer essentials.

Living with PCOS has taught me that movement doesn’t have to be extreme to make me feel good. These are my favorite workouts, YouTube channels, and activities that help me stay active in a way that’s enjoyable and sustainable. This isn’t about chasing the “perfect” body—it’s about finding movement I genuinely look forward to.

Croatia is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, and as a Croatian girl, I’ve grown up exploring our incredible coastline. Whether you’re looking for crystal-clear water, hidden coves, or lively beach towns, these are some of my favorite beaches that I think everyone should visit at least once. If you’re planning a trip to Croatia, I hope this list helps you discover a few unforgettable spots.

If you have PCOS and struggle with hormonal acne, finding the right sunscreen can feel impossible. I know how frustrating it is when an SPF feels greasy, pills under makeup, or makes your skin feel even oilier. These are the face and body sunscreens I genuinely recommend because they’re lightweight, comfortable to wear, and fit well into an acne-prone skincare routine. Daily SPF is especially important if you’re using ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.

Living with PCOS has taught me that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. While supplements aren’t a cure, these are the ones I’ve personally added to my routine after doing my research and speaking with my healthcare provider. I’m sharing what works for me in hopes that it helps someone else build a routine that feels supportive.
