Acne Before Periods🍀 Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples, and it can appear on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. How is Acne Formed? 👉Excess oil production 👉Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells 👉Bacteria 👉Inflammation Is It Normal to Get Acne Before Periods? Yes, it is quite normal to get acne before periods. This is known as premenstrual acne and is caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body. As your period approaches, the levels of estrogen decrease, and progesterone increases, which can lead to an increase in oil production. This excess oil can clog pores and result in acne. Acne Before Periods in Ayurveda: In Ayurveda, acne is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. Premenstrual acne can be seen as an exacerbation of this imbalance. Ayurvedic Treatment: ☘️Diet: Incorporate cooling foods like guards, melons, raisins, milk to balance Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods. ☘️Herbs: Neem, turmeric, and aloe vera can be used for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. ☘️Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and flush out toxins. ☘️Topical Treatments: Apply a paste made of sandalwood and rose water to the affected areas. This helps cool the skin and reduce inflammation. ☘️Lifestyle: Practice stress-relieving activities like yoga and meditation, as stress can also exacerbate acne. Conclusion: While premenstrual acne is common, it can be managed effectively with Ayurvedic practices that balance your body’s doshas. If you’re struggling with severe or persistent acne, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice and treatment. #dhatriayurveda #acne #acnetreatment #ayurveda #acneproblems #periods #acneayurvedictreatment #pimples
