I get acne on my face every time I have my period.

Many girls experience menstruation every month. Many people will get a lot of acne on their faces before and after their menstrual period. Experts tell us that the reason why you get acne on your face every time you have your period is because your body is detoxifying during your period, which causes some changes in your body's endocrine system. This causes your skin's keratin cells to swell, your pores to become clogged, and acne to form.

What to do if you have acne on your face during menstruation

Keep your face clean. This is not only something you should do after you get acne, you should also do a good job of facial cleansing at ordinary times to effectively avoid acne caused by clogged pores;

Avoid spicy food. During menstruation, you should pay more attention to your diet. You should eat light food and drink honey and brown sugar water in moderation to avoid excessive accumulation of toxins that are difficult to eliminate and cause acne.

Avoid eating cold foods. When acne appears during menstruation, many people think that it is caused by getting too hot, and thus eat a lot of cold foods. However, they don’t know that eating cold foods during menstruation will not only cause dysmenorrhea, but may also cause endocrine disorders.

Precautions

It is actually not scary to get acne during menstruation. Just pay a little attention to your diet and daily skin care and wait for the acne to disappear.

Why do women frequently get acne during menstruation?

1. Menstruation is controlled by the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which acts on the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland releases gonadotropin and luteinizing hormone, which act on the ovaries, promoting the development of follicles and the secretion of estrogen. The follicles gradually mature and the estrogen content continues to rise, which in turn acts on the pituitary gland to form a peak in luteinizing hormone secretion.

2. Under the action of luteinizing hormone, the follicle ovulates and forms a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes a large amount of estrogen and progesterone. Under the action of progesterone, the endometrium proliferates, preparing for the implantation of the fertilized egg.

3. At this time, estrogen and progesterone also slowly reach their peak. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland feel that it is almost time to stop, and suddenly reduce the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, gonadotropin and luteinizing hormone. The corpus luteum shrinks, and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone decreases suddenly.

4. Without the support of these two hormones, the endometrium will lose its full energy, and the endometrium will collapse. Menstruation will come, and the "old friend" will show up, and the next cycle will begin.
