I have pimples popping out since the past few days.And right now I’m on my period.But I didn’t used to have so many of these pimples.They’re not too big.And one has even left its mark on my cheekbone and I honestly hate it.I wonder how I can get rid of that mark and these pimples.And why I got them in the first place.
Hi love! It's really common to get more (or only get) acne during the week before or the week of your period due to the rise (Ovaluation to menstruation) or lack of progesterone (onset of your period) levels. These hormone fluctuations can increase the oil production in your skin, resulting in more clogged pores/acne.
Some of the best ways to help manage hormonal acne are through diet, skin hygiene, cardio/movement, and managing stress levels.
For diet, try to incorporate plenty of green vegetables, B vitamins, omega 3s/healthy fats, and plenty of fresh produce generally while avoiding dairy, soda, and highly processed foods.
For skincare, wash your face 2x/day, change your pillow cases weekly, towels at least weekly, wash your face and pat it dry with a disposable towel, don't touch your face without washing your hands, or consider trying retinoids.
Exercise, walks, sex, and meditation are great stress management tools. Also, for some people, birth control pills/IUDs are really helpful to control acne if you want to explore that option.

How to Remove Blackheads and Shrink Pores – The Ultimate Guide
I have made a guide on effectively and safely removing blackheads and minimizing pore appearance. This is something I struggled my whole life as someone with oily skin and really large pores.
But after trying all kinds of products and methods, these are the ones that have given me the best results!
I'm also busting some myths regarding pores in this post. Check out my blog post to learn more: How to Remove Blackheads and Shrink Pores
the key to all your desires is delusion and denial
deny your current reality, deny the thing you don't want to happen but is happening, be delusional, belive and speak as if you already have your desires, think and speak in present tense.
don't wait for your results, you already have it, as soon as you manifest and affirm, it's there. belive it, belive in yourself and your mind.
example: if you want clear skin, when you look in the mirror don't go "how long till i get my results? why is it taking too long"
if you're gonna wait for results it'll keep you waiting. take what's yours with your mind.
Melody!!!!! Do you have any make-up tips?! Love you sm girlie<333
MELODY: AWWW love u too!!!! ^w^ hrrmm that depends on what kinda makeup tips youre looking for! like, i dont actually wear all that much makeup except for lipstick and the occasional artful eye tbh!! the only time i break out the foundation and actually do a full face is when i'm cosplaying or some other super special occasion :3
what you really wanna focus on is skincare! getting a good combo of products that work for you is tricky and really trial and error, since everyones skin is different! soooo im afraid i cant be super helpful with THAT....
BUT!!! overall, a major tip i have for u is to get urself educated on color theory!! coordinating the colors of ur eyes, lips, and outfit is soooo important to bringing a cohesiveness to ur overall look. it's not JUST about the makeup, but the overall LOOK! yknow??
also!!!!! it's SO important to remember that makeup is a SKILL, and youre probly not gonna be great at it right away. practice makes perfect as always!!! when i was first starting out, youtube and tiktok tutorials were EVERYTHING so DONT be afraid to use those and to look at other ppls makeup for inspiration!!!!!
most of this stuff is pretty ingrained in me by now so im not so sure whats helpful and whats not sooo i hope that at least had SOME helpfulness to it ^u^;;
i leave you with this silly cosplay selfie cuz i was so proud of this look X3
big lol that one of my new year ‘outs’ was to stop aggravating my skin. it is not even the 10th and i just made a mildly inconvenient spot like 15 times worse😭
