Most women have at some point experienced annoying monthly breakouts which can be embarrassing and make us feel self-conscious. Spots appear when hormones trigger excessive oil production, which leads to a blockage along with bacteria and dead skin cells. It makes sense therefore that you’re a lot more likely to experience spots around the time of your period. You can't control your hormones with skincare products but what you can do is put up a good fight by reducing oiliness with a gentle, water-soluble cleanser, such as Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash which is free of artificial fragrance and colour and contains naturally healing and soothing ingredients such as Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Arnica and Milk Thistle. The Clearing Skin Wash has to be recommended by your professional therapist, so a visit to the salon is mandatory.
You should also exfoliate skin regularly using a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliator. Using one that is too harsh will only aggravate your skin further which is the last thing you want! Adopting a good skincare regime will go a long way to keeping skin looking healthy, fresh and clear and tackling the dreaded monthly breakouts.
