Acne Before Menstrual Period - Why It Happens
October 9th, 2009 |

Acne is a normal problem encountered by nearly all teenagers, but acne before menstrual period can increase the occurrence for teenage girls. Moreover, this problem can continue long into adulthood, causing pimples well into women’s 30’s.
There are many different treatments that will help with this problem. Some work better than others and some can be combined to dramatically decrease the amount of appearing acne before menstrual period. These can include medications, lotions, facial scrubs, and even a special acne diet.
Most medications for acne are available only by prescription. These can include oral medicines that are taken daily or medicated lotions that are rubbed into the skin. Over-the-counter types of prevention include facial and body scrubs to keep the skin clean and free of some bacterias that help increase acne.
Lotion type medications are often too expensive to be used before menstrual period because such acne occurs on so many parts of the body (including the face, neck, back, chests and shoulders). Additionally, many women worry about the side effects of oral medicines, which causes many to turn to an anti-acne diet.
This kind of diet will help you to avoid foods that contain hormones associated with acne, as well as other types of acne causing food. Sugar, for example, has been shown to have the potential to greatly increase instances and severity of acne.
In addition, the hormones in milk can also lead to an increase in acne production. In fact, any food with hormones in it (these include milk, and most animal products as farmers use hormones to boost their production) can cause an increase. Lastly, adding fish to your diet can help decrease your acne. Most fish has very important omega-3 oils that make your skin healthier.

Through my early 20s, I continually suffered from acne. I tried a wide variety of cures until I started changing my diet due to another medical condition. That’s when I found that my typical diet that was heavy in dairy was the culprit! I eventually reduced my intake of yogurt and milk products and found that my skin cleared quickly.
I highly recommend to those with skin problems try this. It worked for me; I just wish that I had figured it out earlier.

I suffer every month with this problem. Always have done and I am 33 years old. If I drink plenty of water and completely stay away from alcohol then it does appear to help. Lots of fruit as well espically a glass of orange juice in the morning.

I don’t know if it’s useful in this case, but I’ve heard great things about curing acne by putting a fresh hand towel on your pillow every night. Some people have claimed that their face has cleaned up within a week! Though, if it’s related to the menstrual cycle, this may not be as useful..

Well, post is very impressive !! My menstrual cycle was also the same way. When I went to the clinic, I got a checkup and found that I had an ovarian cyst which caused the delay in my cycle. Im not sure if that is what you may have but it is possible. what do you think?
