Why do we get period acne and how to fix it
What causes more pain with a period? It brings along acne! A fluctuation in hormone levels is also responsible for your moodiness, sore breasts, and other PMS-related symptoms, in addition to acne.
Your skin’s acid mantle is the thin film on the skin’s surface that helps act as a barrier against bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. It also holds in moisture and liquid, retaining the skin’s hydration levels. The acid mantle is actually made up of sebum – that waxy, oily substance that is secreted by the sebaceous gland under the skin. When the acid mantle is mixed with amino acids from sweat, this creates our skin’s happy pH level.
