Menstrual period is a special physiological period for women. During this period, some people's skin will undergo great changes than usual, such as greasy skin, loss of transparency, obvious skin capillaries, easy acne, black halo around the eyes and so on.

3. Maintain skin before and after menstruation.
First, premenstrual period: anti-acne and anti-spot
1. For a period of time before menstruation, the endometrium is congested and the secretion of endometrial glands increases, which leads to hormonal changes, and the skin condition is gradually unstable, often appearing dull, rough and greasy; Because of poor metabolism, it is easy to grow acne, spots or edema; At this time, it is necessary to strengthen metabolism and pay attention to sun protection, so that acne and dark spots have no chance to appear.

Advice for women
First, during menstruation, the skin is very sensitive and has poor resistance to external stimuli. At this time, it is best not to try new things, so as not to increase the burden on the skin.
Second, although in the oocyte stage, the face and skin can be good enough to go out without makeup, it doesn't mean that you don't need to care, otherwise it will lay a hidden danger for future care.
