Girls, I've tried everything does break outs before period have to happen?

I'm PISSED because I have been eating sooo healthy and working out for the last three months and I have reduced a lot of depression and anxiety but the week before my period I break out with cystic acne no matter what. And I also still get very bad pms symptoms. I've been drinking almost a gallon of water a day, no sweets, lots of protein and fiber, I take one a day vitamins, and I drink boost energy drinks, but my periods still feel dreadful and my face still break outs. Ugh is there no hope?

All you need to do is breathe. It actually is perfectly normal before your period to break out! It's the hormone levels that are fluctuating, trust me, nothing is wrong with you! If you are worried about your symptoms, you could ask your local heath physician about controlling your symptoms, they could maybe prescribe a medicine to cope with it! (Ex, Birth Control) Otherwise, if you can't afford an appointment, you could try an acne solution such as proactive or clean & clear. If you don't have the extra time to go out, (which girl, I feel ya) You can just wing it out. Don't sweat the small stuff! Blame the hormones :P

Unfortunately, there will always be girls who experience break outs before their period. I experience it too, although after which they just disappear in about a week and unfortunately, sometimes with scars.
If you're on the pill, maybe you can ask your doctor to switch, because there are others that are anti acne and I just love how they work.
Otherwise, continue with the good diet and plenty of water. Also you can use mild facial soaps, change beddings a bit more often and keep your hair out of your face so there's less dirt. :)

you need a hormone supplement I think to stop it otherwise you have to ride the acne train for about 5 days the same as me :(

maybe a mini pill such as dianette would help
