This excess sebum makes your skin and hair greasier, leading to breakouts on your face and even your back if you have long hair touching your skin.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766158962599\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can you soothe period-related sensitive skin?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To soothe sensitive skin before your period, be extra gentle and avoid harsh scrubs and exfoliants. Stick with fragrance-free products to prevent irritation since hormone changes make your skin more reactive during this time.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766158962600\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What SPF should you use before your period?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use a minimum SPF 30 before your period as increased oestrogen makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. This extra protection lowers the risk of getting sunburn, even if you usually do not burn with your normal sun routine.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766158962601\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can help with skin flare ups during PMS?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you experience flare ups of conditions like psoriasis or eczema during PMS, reducing stress can help. Activities like yoga may be beneficial, as your body naturally heals slower at this stage and inflammation may be worse.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766158962602\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you calm skin prone to blushing or rosacea before your period?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To calm blushing or rosacea before your period, avoid extreme heat and intense cardio, and consider a redness-relieving facial. Hormonal changes constrict blood vessels and can worsen these symptoms, so gentler activities and skincare help manage them.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know the annoyance of the period breakout.
