Why do women tend to grow this disgusting thing when they are sensitive?

There are many reasons that cause acne in life, and acne grows more frequently when women are during their menstrual period. What causes this? Let’s follow the editor to find out.

Why do I get acne during my menstrual period?

The week before the menstrual period is when skin problems occur most frequently. At this time, because estrogen levels drop, progesterone and androgen increase, the skin's oil production increases dramatically, greatly increasing the chance of acne.

Experts have analyzed that there are indeed many women who have obvious hormone responses, and their skin will undergo subtle changes along the 28-day menstrual cycle. For example, in the first and fourth weeks, the skin surface will be oily and a few pimples will suddenly appear; in the second and third weeks, there may be a slight dehydration and dryness. These phenomena will subside as the menstrual period progresses.

What should I do if I get acne during my menstrual period?

1. To prevent acne, you must first clean your skin, especially for people with oily skin. It is best to use a neutral alkaline soap or a facial cleanser suitable for oily skin when cleansing. Only by thoroughly cleansing the skin can you avoid excessive facial oil secretion and acne. One week before your menstrual period, you should pay attention to the amount of oil and moisture on your face. To deal with oil, we need to strengthen oil control and lightly moisturize the cheeks. In terms of moisturizing, it is best to spray the skin with moisturizing water after cleansing in the morning and evening. You can also apply a moisturizing mask to your face one hour before going to bed during your period to make your skin hydrated and prevent dryness.

2. In terms of diet, you should pay attention to "four less and one more", that is, eat less spicy and irritating food (such as pepper, mustard, etc.), less greasy food (such as animal oil, vegetable oil, etc.), less sweets (such as sugar, coffee, etc.), and less seafood (such as shrimp, shellfish, etc.). You can eat more vegetables and fruits to avoid the occurrence of sebaceous gland hypertrophy and hyperplasia, and reduce the chance of acne.

3. Long-term abuse of cosmetics will stimulate the sebaceous glands, accelerate keratinization and blockage of hair follicles, and thus induce acne. Patients are reminded to be cautious when choosing cosmetics, not to use inferior or oily cosmetics, and to wash their faces before going to bed to reduce the damage of cosmetics to the skin.

4. During menstruation, women's bodies discharge menstrual blood, so they should consume more foods that have blood-replenishing function. Jujubes are the best thing for blood-replenishing. You can cook porridge with dates and other supplements and drink it before going to bed. This can not only replenish blood, but also make the skin rosy, promote blood circulation, and replenish nutrients in the body. It is normal to have acne during menstruation, and women should not worry too much. Acne during menstruation will gradually disappear with the end of menstruation. Just use skin care products to restore your skin to its original state.

5. Acne during menstruation is very normal. Don’t be anxious about removing acne, as it will affect the changes in estrogen secretion in the body. A bad mood during menstruation can also cause various complications, so you must regulate your mood. In terms of acne removal, you can use some tea tree oil or other skin care products to prevent acne, or speed up the shedding of acne. If skin inflammation occurs, you should seek medical attention in time.

6. The key to facial care is not to stay up late. Don’t stay up late and deprive your skin of rest. Staying up late accelerates women’s aging. If they don’t get enough sleep, it will affect their endocrine system and make acne more likely.
