Breakouts because of time of the month

Okay so at the risk of sounding dumb- if you break out because of your time of the month does that mean breaking out right before you start or after?

For me it's usually just before.

Just before here too. Although, following the "wash your face with honey" thread, I just had my first cycle EVER without a breakout. I.AM.THRILLED.

yup. i always break out before. i haven't had a cycle since i started washing my face with honey, but i started doing it because of massive breakouts during early pregnancy (so obviously hormone related, just like the ones brought on by AF) which completely went away when i started washing with honey. and whenever i forget for a while and don't do it, i end up with at least one pimple on my face!

Okay, well I'm just trying to figure out why my nose broke out big time with the kind of pimples I never ever get. The breakout happened the day after I started my time of the month. I wash with honey, ACV toner once a day and it's been working well. Is it a good idea to change a cleaning routine every few weeks or should I just wait this out?

I guess it kinda depends on each person. Some people, it might be just before. Others, it might be right after.

If it's never happened before, maybe it was an allergic reaction to something else?

I've been washing my face with honey for a few weeks. I started my period a few days ago and the breakouts were awful . I'm someone who's had acne since I was in my early teens and it shows no signs of going away. I'm gonna have to switch back to my regular face wash (Proactive). My face looked gross:.

I'm glad that it worked for you!

i use the oil cleansing method. i used to use honey though. my monthly breakouts carry on no matter what though. i only get one zit but it gets so big and nasty and lasts forever.

i don't break out everymonth though but when i do i never fail to get a period w/in the next day or two....
