- Right after your period, your skin is in a great place
- Estrogen levels start to rise which results to:
1. High collagen production giving the skin a plump, springy appearance.
2. "Estrogen helps to promote the skin's moisture retention and thus when estrogen levels are higher, one may feel their skin is more hydrated and luminous." - Mindy Pelz, author, The Menopause Reset
- The best time if you want to try new products
- Also the time for maintenance. Use vitamin C serum to prolong skin's glow and exfoliate w/ AHAs to keep pores build-up free

Estrogen and testosterone levels are at their peak. This signals a surge in luteinizing hormone lutropin which triggers ovulation.
"This surge occurs directly prior to the onset of hormonal acne.. Prevention and getting control over breakouts is key..It is vital at this time to not use harsh exfoliating products." - Dr. Anthony Rossi MD

"As estrogen drops, the premenstrual phase usually leads to acne due to the rise in progesterone. When progesterone is high, it causes skin to swell, so one may experience inflammatory acne papules and pustules,"- Dr. Rossi.
An imbalance of testosterone will also increase oil production, which may also result in clogged pores and breakouts.

- eliminating excess oil without triggering your inflamed skin. How?
- Only use products that are non-comedogenic and ideally contain anti-inflammatory properties.
Cleanse frequently w/ a gentle foaming cleanser. Try niacinamide to balance oil production and reduce inflammation, along with a spot treatment on breakout-prone areas.
Increase exfoliation to 2-3x a week and incorporate a purifying mask to counter congested skin.
If yourhormonal acne is cystic and painful, consult a board-certified dermatologist who can offer alternative options.
