Acne is a natural enemy for women who love beauty, especially for those who love acne during menstruation, which is a difficult problem to avoid. Acne during menstruation is not actually a pathological manifestation. The skin care in advance can reduce the impact of acne to a certain extent. However, it is not recommended to blindly squeeze or self-medicate, which is likely to cause allergies or even scars. Acne during menstruation is caused by endocrine fluctuations The occurrence of acne (commonly known as acne) is related to many factors, including fluctuations in female hormone levels, so some women will have a high incidence or aggravation of acne during menstruation. During menstruation, progesterone and estrogen levels drop significantly, while androgen levels are relatively high, allowing for increased sebaceous secretion. The clogging of pores by sebaceous secretion will allow the active substance that causes acne, Propionibacterium acnes, to grow wildly and cause a stress response in the skin, producing acne, pimples and redness. As a result, women who normally love acne become even more bent out of shape during their menstrual period. Women who continue to take care of their skin in the usual way during their period, or who neglect skin care, are also correspondingly prone to acne problems. It is important to note that not all acne that occurs during menstruation is attributed to hormonal fluctuations. Menstrual acne is different from regular acne in that it is recurrent and stubborn. It usually grows around the mouth, on the sides of the nose, and in the corners of the jaw. Most acne that grows on the forehead and the middle of the cheeks is not related to the menstrual cycle. If this type of acne is severe, it is still necessary to receive appropriate treatment. Before your period, skin care should be stepped up. If you want to reduce acne problems during your period, you should step up your skin care before your period. A week before your period, try to reduce heavy makeup and do a thorough job of removing it to reduce clogging of pores. In addition, to add cleansing, especially for women with oily skin, it is best to use warm water when cleansing, and it is recommended to use a cleansing product with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. The most crucial thing is to ensure sufficient sleep. “Staying up late more often can also cause more significant hormone fluctuations. I believe that working women who are so busy that their work and rest are not normal, or girls who are facing a stressful exam period, all know the effects of staying up late on hormone fluctuations. This is one of the reasons why you are prone to acne after staying up late. It is worth mentioning that although women with dry skin do not have high oil secretion and are not prone to acne, if the skin care is not done properly and the skin barrier function is damaged, it will also lead to acne problems. Don’t be autonomous when you have acne Menstrual acne is not a disease, in a way. It will slowly disappear once the menstrual cycle has passed. However, often many people will blindly buy medicine or cannot resist squeezing acne. The human skin is a barrier. Acne causes the follicles to open up, so if you use medication on your own, it will easily break through the open follicles and penetrate into the skin, causing allergies or heavy metal deposits. Forced squeezing of pimples is even more important, as it may cause folliculitis and even leave hyperpigmentation and scars. Acne does not require too much stress if it does not exceed 5 grains. Doing your normal skin cleaning work, sleeping more, eating more fruits and vegetables, and ensuring vitamin intake can reduce acne quickly. If acne carries inflammation, or if pustules appear, it is recommended to visit a hospital dermatologist.
