Right before the period starts, it is the <a title=\"progesterone &amp; estrogen levels\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creative-diagnostics.com\/blog\/index.php\/estrogen-and-progesterone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">progesterone &amp; estrogen levels<\/a> that drop. This may trigger the sebaceous gland to secrete additional sebum, the oily substance that goes on to lubricate your skin. A little too much of it can result in jammed pores and breakouts.<\/p>\n<p>Hormones may also increase skin infection and the production of acne-causing bacteria. These little hormonal fluctuations right before your period can also be liable for other entertaining period things, like moodiness, weird poop (aka PMS), and sore breasts. PMS is somehow also associated with prolonged stress, which might worsen your acne.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56\" src=\"http:\/\/shadesbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pimples-before-periods-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"http:\/\/shadesbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pimples-before-periods-1.jpg 980w, http:\/\/shadesbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pimples-before-periods-1-300x126.jpg 300w, http:\/\/shadesbrigade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pimples-before-periods-1-768x321.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>And it only keeps going<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike another PMS symptom, period-related acne does not always fade away once the period begins.
