My chest breaks out before period?!
Question: My chest breaks out before period?
Answers:
yeah, that's pretty normal. it's from the increased hormones a week before your period. face wash works fine (that's what I use too lo I'm gonna try the pink grape fruit stuff, I use neutrogena for sensitive skin with aloe, it's green, and it's ok...) but yeah, face wash is ok. they have body wash too that's a little stronger (doesn't have to be as gentile since it's not the soft face skin, so it's a little different). if you wash with face/body wash like 2 weeks before your period (a week before you break out) that'll help you not break out as much. if you do get any acne, it'll b really small and go away faster.
hope this helps :-)

This is not uncommon. Many women experience acne break-outs that correspond to menstruation: either just prior to or during their periods. As acne can occur on the chest and back in addition to the face, it's not surprising that you're breaking out here. Yes, I'd recommending using some kind of exfoliant when you see break-outs starting (but not the same one you use on your face; find an exfoliant scrub made especially for the body). No worries and good luck!
