| Hi, guys.
Does anyone have any tips to help prevent hormonal facial inflammation (redness, generally) and flushing during that time of month? I know Ibuprofen is supposed to help with breakouts, but would something like that help with an increase in constant redness and an increase in flushing? Thanks. |

| Yes --- aspirin, ibprofen, etc help with redness. So does antibiotics...low dose for rosacea use longterm. If you're past childrearing age then spironolactone helps too...it moderates the hormones.

| Its strange but my skin looks best from 1 week before my period until my period ends.
Its the smoothest, no acne, less redness.... I have no idea why. Wish it would stay like that :( |
