Acne and Menstrual Cycles

Almost every woman who suffers from acne knows that their acne gets worse before their period or at certain times in their menstrual cycle. A woman’s menstrual cycle will aggravate acne similarly to what occurs when one is under stress, with acne blemishes appearing overnight.

• Most likely, changing hormones within a woman’s body during this time of the month causes acne flare-ups.
