How to take care of your skin during your period

I will get nervous for no reason~

However, compared to these,

The most frustrating thing is,

As soon as my period comes, I get acne.

It's really annoying!

So today, Xiao C will discuss with you the self-help guide for skin care during menstruation.

Various activities of human organs are regulated by hormones. Menstruation is the result of the combined regulation of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and other hormones.

In the last five days of the menstrual cycle, since pregnancy does not occur, under the regulation of pituitary hormones, the corpus luteum gradually shrinks, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries gradually decreases, and the thickness of the endometrium decreases again and again until it collapses and forms a new menstruation.

During menstruation, the small arteries supplying the endometrium spasm and contract, then rupture, causing the endometrium to become ischemic, necrotic, and then fall off, resulting in menstruation. This process lasts for about 2-8 days.

Menstruation is actually a very subtle adjustment of the organism itself. It allows the endometrium that has not been conceived to be renewed in time so as to prevent abnormal changes such as cancer from occurring due to excessive proliferation.

So what does this have to do with acne? As I said earlier, the estrogen level in the body will drop to the lowest level a few days before menstruation, and estrogen has an inhibitory effect on the secretion of androgen, so when estrogen decreases, the secretion of androgen will increase. The secretion of male hormones will intensify the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil. If these oils are not released in time, menstrual acne will form.

Therefore, the root cause of menstrual acne is the decrease in estrogen during menstruation, and the direct cause is excessive oil secretion.

Now that we know the principle of menstrual acne, we can avoid it as much as possible by regulating it properly.

Since menstrual acne is caused by excessive oil secretion and clogged pores, all you need to do is do a good job of cleaning. The most important thing is to start some deep cleansing before your period, because when you find acne it is too late, so it is best to start five days before your period.

You must keep good records. Only when you know your menstrual cycle basically accurately can you do a good job of prevention. You should strengthen skin cleansing from five days before your period to the fifth day of your period. If your period is particularly inaccurate, it is best to go to the hospital to adjust your endocrine system first.

For deep cleansing, you can choose some cleaning products that have the function of unclogging pores, and try to use some facial cleansers made from natural plants, which can effectively remove facial dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells.
