Will I get acne during ovulation?

The few days before menstruation are the ovulation period, which is also the time when women secrete the most female hormones. Due to the influence of hormones, acne will appear on the face and other places. Moreover, during the ovulation period, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies will reach a peak, and a small amount of male hormones will also be secreted. Androgens in the body bind to androgen receptors on the sebaceous glands, prompting the sebaceous glands to secrete sebum, and the skin may develop more acne than usual.

This type of acne is also called premenstrual acne. It appears in sebum-rich areas of the face and is a chronic inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands with inflammatory papules as the main manifestation. It quickly improves after menstruation; or women with existing acne may have significantly worse acne before menstruation, and the symptoms will significantly decrease or even disappear completely after menstruation. It often occurs periodically, affecting the appearance and mood of beauty-loving women. You can pay attention to the following points:

1. Stay up late before menstruation, spend less time on the Internet, and get enough sleep. As the saying goes, sleep is the best beauty product. Women are prone to fatigue before menstruation. If they do not get enough sleep, fatigue will increase and their body immunity will decrease. Not only will acne occur, but other diseases may also be contracted.

2. Eat less spicy and fried foods before menstruation to ensure adequate nutrition.

3. Many women will experience depression, irritability, worry and other discomforts before menstruation. Unhappy mood can be said to be the main cause of acne.

What should you pay attention to during ovulation?

1. Have your own towel and use running water to wash your private parts when you shower.

2. After each defecation, it is best to develop a habit of washing with warm water to prevent intestinal bacteria from taking the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation.

3. Drink enough water every day to reduce the bacteria growing in the urethra.

4. When there is a lot of secretion, you can use a hair dryer set to warm air to dry your vulva after taking a shower. After taking a shower, you should wear underwear after your vulva is relatively dry. Nowadays, there are many people who only wear skirts without underwear at home, or do not wear underwear when sleeping. This is better for the vagina, as it allows it to ventilate and dry. But bedding should be changed frequently and kept clean.

5. Be careful when choosing sanitary products, and use less sanitary pads and toilet paper containing fragrances, pigments or deodorizing ingredients. In addition, do not use soap or shower gel to clean the vagina. Since ordinary shower gels and soaps are mostly alkaline with a pH value above 7, they can easily destroy the weak acid environment and cause gynecological diseases.

6. It is best to wear cotton underwear that is absorbent and breathable. In hot seasons, it is best not to wear tights. When sitting in public places, try not to wear miniskirts to avoid letting your underwear touch the seat.

7. Wash underwear separately from other clothes and use mild detergent. Some detergents or softeners may cause allergic reactions. If you feel something is wrong, it is best not to use them.
