Just days before my delightful time of the month I breakout uncontrollably! 😩 It's soo annoying as I can't test a new skin care product for a whole month due to my cycle! What to do girls!! 😫

Wait for menapause.lol. I'm going thru the same thing. I only break out along my jawline and under my neck due to the time of the month and after a week and half my skin clears up. What I do to lessen it is I don't experiment with any new skincare products and I amp up on drinking water with lemon slices (drink thru a straw as to avoid lemon juice from eating away at teeth enamel. Watch my sodium consumption. And working out seems to help lessen the severity of breakouts for me around that time of the month. And countdown to menapause.lol

Lol well I have not gone thru menapause yet but I never have a breakout during that time because about 5 years ago I had my hormone level checked and balanced so that keeps my breakouts at bay but if you do not wanna go that route try taking fish oil pills and vitamin c the are both anti infammatory an can help from the inside out an also avoid caffeine an alcohol around that time of the month because the both lead to inflammation that cause breakouts as well as a good skin care routine

Thanks Traci. The things we have to go through as women hey! Lol. I'll definitely look into the fish oil pills. Just want my hormones to be balanced. Clearly that's asking for too much! Lol.

Traci thanks for the pointers...I wish I could take the fish oil pills. They make me burp like crazy. I might need to center my salmon consumption around that time of the month instead. My one glass of Merlot with dinner...going to be hard to leave that alone for a few nights. But I'll try it out. ;)

Thanks Emma. I actually took them for a bit it it was kind of on and off, I'm terrible when it comes to sticking to a routine. Might have to start taking them again!
