I always get acne during my menstrual period. I want to be beautiful during my menstrual period. I will teach you how to solve acne during menstrual period.

For some girls, during the menstrual period, not only do they have to endure excruciating pain, but the most disturbing thing is that a lot of pimples will grow on their faces during this period.

Why do I always get acne during my menstrual period?

【hormone】

During menstruation, girls’ hormones will be unbalanced. Although hormone imbalance is not the direct cause of acne, it will cause greater hormone fluctuations in women’s bodies than in men, so the chance of acne breakouts is much higher than in men.

Generally speaking, women with acne-prone skin will experience more acne in the first three months of pregnancy, and even women who don't normally get acne will develop acne during this period. This is because a woman's body's hormone levels fluctuate greatly during pregnancy.

So how to prevent and treat menstrual acne? Now let me tell you one by one!

【Prevention methods】

Exfoliation

Thick cuticles are the favorite growth environment for acne. Exfoliating a week before your period to remove old cuticles can effectively prevent the occurrence of menstrual acne.

Oil-control skin

Excessive oil secretion will clog the pores and induce acne. The arrival of menstruation will make acne more likely to occur. As long as you do a good job of oil control a week before your menstrual period and keep your skin fresh and clean, you can prevent menstrual acne.

Gently cleanses the skin

The skin is more sensitive before menstruation, so mild cleansing products should be used when cleaning the skin to remove skin oil and prevent pores from being clogged and causing acne.

A healthy diet

Many acne breakouts are actually caused by improper diet. I have seen too many cases of acne popping up before the menstrual period due to not paying attention to diet, and even suffering from dysmenorrhea. Therefore, about a week before the menstrual period, we should not eat spicy or greasy food, let alone raw or cold food. We should eat more vegetables and fruits to keep bowel movements smooth to avoid acne caused by constipation.

Get enough sleep

During menstrual period, the body's immunity decreases. Do not stay up late at this time, otherwise you will lack sleep and feel tired, which may lead to acne and other physical illnesses.

Don’t pinch or squeeze pimples

Sometimes the appearance of acne is caused by endocrine disorders, so even if we are careful, acne on our face still pops up uncontrollably. Don't be anxious at this time and never pinch or squeeze the pimples with your hands. You can use professional acne removal products at this time. I believe that many girls must have used a lot of acne removal products to get rid of acne. I don’t really agree with you doing this. In fact, acne during menstruation can disappear slowly on its own. Too many acne-removing products will make the skin more and more sensitive.

Stay positive

Many women become irritable and anxious before menstruation, which are favorable factors for the growth of acne. Therefore, you must try to maintain an optimistic mood before menstruation. It can not only prevent acne, but it is also very beneficial to your health.

Washing oil with oil

In order to prevent dryness and reduce the irritation of alkaline lotions to the skin, it is best to choose a facial cleanser with more oiliness. When washing your face, do not rub your dry cheeks hard. Focus on the T-zone where oil is more produced. Wash the oil with oil, and then rinse with clean water to thoroughly remove the keratin cells on the surface of the skin and the dirt deep in the hair follicles.

Anti-wrinkle around eyes

For dark circles around the eyes, after applying eye cream, gently massage the eye skin in circles, then hold the eye sockets with your fingertips and press the area around the eye sockets, especially the areas where the dark circles are severe. Apply the anti-wrinkle essence to the fine lines at the corners of the eyes and massage repeatedly to promote absorption.

Hydrating

Replace the ordinary day cream you use daily with a day cream that has hydrating and moisturizing effects. After cleansing in the morning and evening, spray your skin with moisturizing water. During your menstrual period, you can apply a moisturizing mask on your face one hour before going to bed every night for two consecutive days to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness.

Warm sleep 8 hours

During the menstrual period, the body is easily tired, and due to physiological blood loss, the body temperature is relatively low, making it easy to feel cold. Normally 6-7 hours of sleep is enough, but during this period it is best to ensure 8 hours of sleep a day, and pay attention to keeping warm. Keep the body warm and comfortable at all times, which is conducive to normal blood circulation in the body and is very useful for completely eliminating tired skin.

Fragrance and skin care

Body odor during menstruation and discomfort in the lower body will directly affect your mood, and emotional fluctuations will bring about changes in hormones in the body, which will in turn affect the condition of your skin. Proper use of fragrance can not only cover up body odor, but also keep you refreshed and your skin radiant.

Dietary taboos

Taboo 1: Eating salty food: Women should avoid eating salty food before menstruation. Because salty food will increase the body's salt and water storage, before menstruation, the progesterone level will increase, which can easily lead to edema, headaches and other phenomena. If you start eating a low-salt food 10 days before your period, the above symptoms will not occur.

Taboo 2: Drinking carbonated beverages: Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

Taboo 3: Eating spicy food: Do not eat spicy food and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meat, animal oil and sweets.

Taboo 4: Eating spicy and cold foods: Spicy and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic vasoconstriction, resulting in too little menstrual blood flow or even sudden cessation of menstrual blood flow. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you do not pay attention to avoid these adverse stimuli, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders will occur in the long run.
