      female Friends all have this feeling: During the few days when the "old friend" comes, the secretion of both estrogen and progesterone in the body is at its lowest point, which is the red alarm period on the body's barometer. The skin is also the most fragile at this time, and various kinds of skin Problems cropped up: acne, oiliness, and dull complexion. How to deal with it?

      menstrual acne infestation

      Menstrual acne is the forecast before the “old friend” arrives, but it tends to break out most violently on those days and stay there for a longer period of time. This is because progesterone in the body can increase the body's defense and inhibit the secretion of skin oil. However, during the menstrual period, the secretion of progesterone in the body decreases and the secretion of oil increases. This is the reason why "menstrual acne" appears.

      Countermeasures——

      If there are always "menstrual acne" violations, it is best to adjust it from within the body first. If you have acne, use a lot of anti-acne products to deal with it, which will cause more irritation to sensitive skin. It is better to use some refreshing moisturizers, and use gentle products to clean the excess skin cells before menstruation.

      Dull and dull skin

      This may be the worst time of the month, and your face may appear swollen. This is also because the hormone secretion in your body decreases, making your skin drier.

      Countermeasures——

      If you like to play music every night or work overtime, you should at least give your skin a holiday during this period so that it can fully rest. Likewise, it is not suitable to use overly effective whitening products during this period. It is better to use skin care products with activation effect and skin tightening function.

      Because your complexion may be very poor during this special period, you cannot ignore makeup. The foundation should have a pink effect, and the lipstick should be pink as the first choice, so as to make the complexion more rosy and the whole person to be more energetic. If you have time, you can also try aromatherapy to promote blood circulation in the body.
