Period ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฉธ

Ladies, I just wanted to know if it's just me or do you see a massive change in your skin texture? Like for me, right before I get my period, my face breaks out like crazy with painful puss filled pimples. And nothing seem to work on them until I get my period. And then suddenly my face clears out, with a tighter, glowy, soft baby-like skin ๐Ÿฅน it's like magic.๐Ÿช„ But after a week, the marks show up where the pimples left those marks. Please tell me I'm not the only one... And if your skin reacts like this during period, do you follow certain routine or diet or self care? Please do share ๐Ÿ–ค

I often have breakouts just before the start of my period and I just try not to pick any pimples. I also try to be very consistent with cleansing my face and sometimes I also use a pimple patch at night. Hormonal pimples usually don't leave any marks or scars on me. I don't follow any special routines or diets during that time, apart from the diet I'm already following for a few months trying to loose some weight! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I definitely have the same issue as you. For me, I get really hungry before my period comes and tend to eat sweet stuff like chocs and bubble tea, then I start to break out. If you are same as me, guess itโ€™s all the stuff that we eats, we need self control ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜…

You can still eat sweet stuff but try not to have too much added sugar. Natural sugar like fruit is great ๐Ÿ‘
