Period acne, PMS acne, hormonal acne &#8211; this condition may have many names, but all mean acne at an inconvenient time, and often (but not always) on your face. <\/span>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/is-premenstrual-acne-real-15686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very Well Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> describes period acne as, \u201cPremenstrual acne, often dubbed &#8220;PMS acne&#8221;, is a consistent flare up or worsening of acne every month, coinciding with the menstrual cycle.\u201d <\/span><br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means period acne:<\/span>\n<ul>\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is influenced by your hormones and menstrual cycle.<\/span><\/li>\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occurs near or during your period.<\/span><\/li>\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May make existing acne worse.<\/span><\/li>\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can happen even if you typically don\u2019t have acne.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.6&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-Causes-Period-Acne\"><\/span><b>What Causes Period Acne?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading up to your period, your body goes through many hormonal changes. These changes prompt a perfect storm of conditions that allow for acne to pop up. So what exactly happens? <\/span><br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WebMD explains it best, \u201cThe average menstrual cycle is 28 days, and each of these days is different hormonally. \u201cIn the first half of a woman\u2019s menstrual cycle, the predominant hormone is estrogen; in the second half, the main hormone is progesterone,\u201d explains ob-gyn Elizabeth Gutrecht Lyster, MD\u2026. \u201cThen levels of both hormones fall to their lowest levels of the month as bleeding approaches,\u201d she says.\u201d<\/span><br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These fluctuations in hormones, as explained by ob-gyn Elizabeth Gutrecht Lyster, MD. in the above quote, send your body through all sorts of changes. This includes oilier skin, cravings for fatty or sweet foods, skin swelling, etc., creating a perfect environment for pores to become blocked and acne to form. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.6&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-To-Prevent-Period-Acne\"><\/span><b>How To Prevent Period Acne<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a better understanding of what causes period acne, what can you do to prevent it? We\u2019ve got good news and bad news. The bad news first &#8211; if your skin is already typically oily and you\u2019re already prone to acne, the struggle is going to be harder. That said, it won\u2019t be impossible! Let\u2019s talk about some methods of preventing acne from forming:<\/span>\n<ol>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Wash your face and other areas with gentle cleansers &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First and foremost, don\u2019t just leave the oil sitting there. A little oil is fine, a ton of oil could set you up for acne. If you don\u2019t normally wash your face, it may be time to start. There are many gentle cleansers who will help to remove excess oil without stripping the face and causing it to become dry.<\/span><\/li><br><br>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Try rose water or witch hazel &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rose water is a great anti-inflammatory, and can help to reduce the swelling in your face, as well as reduce redness and aid in the reduction of acne (and possibly even scars). On the other spectrum, witch hazel helps to clean and shrink pores, as well as reduce excess oil from the skin. Be careful when using either of these products, especially if you have sensitive skin.<\/span><\/li><br><br>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Avoid eating fatty or fried foods &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not only does consuming these foods invite potential problems, but these foods may impact more than just your stomach. Consider that as you are consuming these foods, oil and grease from these meals are making their way onto your face (queue the image of grease dripping down your chin). If you don\u2019t remember to wash your face after eating (which many of us don\u2019t, and a simple napkin might not be enough), you\u2019re leaving this residue in an area that may already be angry &#8211; potentially causing unwanted acne. <\/span><\/li><br><br>\n<\/ol>\n<b>Avoid sugar as well &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar is commonly referred to as an inflammatory. As mentioned in #2 above, and earlier, we\u2019re working towards reducing inflammation and calming our skin, where sugar may be contributing to the opposite effect. While sugar on it\u2019s own may not be the direct cause of acne, it\u2019s often combined with overly processed ingredients that are high in fat. In addition, excess sugar consumption could aggravate underlying conditions that may cause acne. \u00a0<\/span>\n<h1><\/h1>\n&nbsp;\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-To-Treat-Period-Acne\"><\/span><b>How To Treat Period Acne<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You unfortunately weren\u2019t able to prevent period acne, and now you\u2019ve got a big white spot on your chin &#8211; what next?

It\u2019s important to note, always <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always <\/span><\/i><b><i>always <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make sure you wash your hands and only use clean materials when treating acne to reduce the risk of spreading or infection. <\/span><br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important note, rarely are you advised to take action into your own hands and pop a pimple &#8211; even if it\u2019s tempting \u00a0&#8211; you can always watch Dr. Pimple Popper if you\u2019re really craving some pimple popping action. <\/span><br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find yourself caught with a pimple, start first by gently cleaning the area.

This may help to dry out the acne spot.<\/span><\/li>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply apple cider vinegar to the spot using a soaked cotton ball. Similar to the witch hazel, this may help to dry the spot out. <\/span><\/li>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully apply tea tree oil (you may consider using a carrier oil, as recommended by most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/happybodyformula.com\/tea-tree-oil-benefits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reputable sources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Be mindful of the carrier oil, as this may further cause the acne versus helping it. <\/span><\/li>\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oatmeal face mask, or oat masks. There are many gentle cleanser available, which are made using fresh oats, dried fruits, and natural clays.
