Can I squeeze pimples during my period?

Menstruation is a normal physiological cycle for women. During menstruation, the female body experiences metabolic disorders, so symptoms of acne are often prone to occur. After getting acne, many people may want to squeeze it out because they think that acne will have white tips after it grows. People will definitely have an urge to squeeze pimples out. Can you squeeze pimples during menstruation?

What to do if you have acne before and after your period?

1. First of all, you should follow a skin care routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and oil control, and choose a more suitable facial cleanser to clean your face. Especially for areas that produce a lot of oil, remember to use moisturizing water, lotion and other skin care products for daily skin care. Never stay up late during your menstrual period, as it will cause endocrine disorders in the human body. Long-term endocrine disorders will lead to the growth of acne. Even for people who rarely get acne, if they often stay up late, their skin condition will become very bad.

2. Also, don’t eat too much spicy and greasy food, because these foods contain too much fat, which is a burden to the body and is unhealthy junk food.

3. You must also maintain a good mood and a healthy mental state, be happy every day, and not have too much stress and worries. Excessive stress can also lead to the growth of acne. Therefore, you cannot get angry often, and your emotions cannot fluctuate too much.

4. Girls can eat more blood-enriching and beauty-enhancing foods during their menstrual period, such as red dates, wolfberries, longans and other foods that have health-care effects. This is because these foods are rich in vitamins, various amino acids and trace elements, which can help women regulate their qi and blood. They are very good whether they are soaked in water or eaten raw.

How to prevent acne in daily life

1. Effectively cleans the skin

Washing your face is very important and you should do it frequently. Pay attention to skin cleansing and choose cleaning products that can effectively remove dirt and oil, and also inhibit the growth of bacteria. It is best to wash your face no more than twice a day. Excessive cleaning of the skin will stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands.

2. Timely oil control and moisturizing

There is oil on the face that clogs the pores, and what is needed more is moisturizing the skin. Excessive oil production of the skin is actually caused by lack of water. After cleansing the skin, we can use toner and moisturizer to keep the skin moisturized, which is the key to protecting the skin.

3. Choose a gel with anti-inflammatory and acne-removing functions

When acne has not yet broken out or has already broken out, use a cotton swab dipped in gel to apply it on the acne. This can help dry the acne and accelerate the end of its life. At this moment, please note that the gel can only be applied on acne, and not applied all over the face, so as not to over-irritate the non-inflamed skin and cause redness and swelling.

4. Be careful with acne treatment

Apply warm water first, then use the round head of the acne needle/acne needle to slowly squeeze and scrape it off. The advantage is speed. However, if disinfection is not done properly, it may cause infection and inflammation, and using too much force will leave red marks and damage the skin. If you really can't help squeezing it, be sure to clean it properly and do a good job of follow-up skin care to reduce damage. But if you can bear it, you must bear it.

5. Pay attention to your diet

Eat less fat, high-sugar, spicy, fried foods, and stimulating beverages such as liquor and coffee. Eat more vegetables and fruits and drink more water. People who often suffer from constipation can use 20 grams of mung beans and 50 grams of rice, cook them into porridge, add a small amount of rock sugar to mix, and take it twice a day.

6. Pay attention to sun protection measures

Once the ultraviolet rays in the sun pass through the acne wound and directly penetrate the epidermis, black spots will form at the wound site. Even after the acne disappears, burn marks like black spots will still be left. If you are worried that the sunscreen is too oily, you can use a tissue to press on your face after applying the sunscreen to absorb the excess oil. In this way, the function of the sunscreen will not be affected and the burden of oil will be prevented.
