Do you use any topical treatments or lotions? You could try just using a gentle topical lotion for acne with salicylic acid in it...right before and during your period. If you need more....it's always a trial and error, but our company (Arbonne) carries a line called Clear Advantage. It's a supplement you take and it's all natural and safe and WORKS great. Doesn't hurt to try, 45 money back gaurantee.

What have you tried already?

Have you tried birth control pills? They helped my skin quit breaking out so much around my period. I have just gotten off of mine though because they were making me so sick to my stomach all the time. I have been having great success with the Clinical Basic Skin Care line so hopefully I won't need the birth control pills to control my acne anymore. If you are sensitive to or can't use the salicylic acid you might wanna try that line since it's geared towards sensitive skin but helps clear all skin types.

Mouna, if this is the company that Lisa is talking about, it doesn't look like they are available in Australia.

You could always e-mail the complany and say that you are from Australia and ask them is there anyway that you could purchase their products.

Hope that helps

Thanks for adding the link, Kimberley!

Mouna, did you get my PM?

 

[Mouna]

yeaah i did honey

 

[Little_Lisa]

Sweet!

Something else you might try that helps from the inside out is drinking lots of water and taking evening primrose oil which helps balance hormones naturally. You can get that in capsule form at a health food store or online. I take a liquid supplement called The Essential Woman that has evening primrose oil and flaxseed oil in it. You can also get this in capsule form if you prefer.

My Esthetician had me use a Cucumber Sorbet Masque...packed with aloe and soooo soothing and refreshing. It had anti-inflammatory factors and helped with breakouts as well, but was very gentle. I was able to use it with ease while on my retinoid. It was an Azulene product, maybe do a search.

A substance called Agnus Castus is very good in balancing hormones particularly in women so I'm sure this would help around your "time of the month". You can buy it in a tablet form and it's not that expensive. Evening Primrose Oil has the same effect although this is extremely expensive lol...well it's about $50/£25 for a decent size tub.

Hope these work! Lee.

do they sell it in australia and u the the evening primrose oil is that as good as the agnus castus?

I used to live in Perth and I know you can get Evening Primrose Oil, you should also be able to get Agnus Castus in any well known chemist. On the question of which is better you will really have to test this out for yourself. Evening Primrose Oil is said to target problematic skin directly where as Agnus Castus balances out hormones thus leading to less problems with skin. It's really an issue of money, unless you're really rich then you're fine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but try each separately and give at least 6 weeks for each product to know that it's working. I could arrange sending you some if you really have a problem getting it, although I don't think you will.

Hope it works for you! Let me know. Lee.

Try Evening Primrose Capsules it might help. Also try Greens+ Omega Glow Caps these will improve overal complexion!

birth control.

but other then that truthfully, there's not much you can do.

what really helps is having a good diet especially before your period because we tend to crave sugary/salty foods a week or whatever before our period arrives. so having a clean diet is a must.

also, our liver controls our hormones, therefore have you thought of doing a liver flush or some type of cleanse maybe?
