Every girl I've talked to breaks out on her period, but I know when mine is coming because I get really clear skin. That's weird, right?
Why does my skin clear up when I'm on my period?

Well no. But I was just curious as to why it happens. Is something funky going on?

Dude, mine clears up right after it...I mean it looks the best right after my period. It's weird. But other than that it doesn't look as great even
when I'm not on it.

Perhaps it is the harmones. I haven't had problems with my face breaking out since I went on BC.

I always break out the week before I get it, and then it slowly gets better the closer it gets

Lucky you! My face looks horrible a few days before and during my period.

Usually when you're ovulating your skin is supposed to get clearer and your features just...prettier. I think it has to do w/ estrogen or something.

I break out while I'm PMSing, but not during my period. It's like the second it starts all my symptoms go away.
(but the cramps start, so no great
tradeoff).

That's weird.... right before your period your estrogen levels are low, and estrogen clears skin. So it should be the opposite! (it is for me). My skin is
best right after.
