We’ve all been there: you wake up in a good mood, only to find that a huge zit has made itself comfortable on your face. At least, that happens to me every time it’s that time of the month. It never fails that once I start my period, I get a pimple on my chin. Sometimes it’s in the exact same spot as the month before. What’s worse is that when I get hormonal breakouts, they not only hurt but they’re bothersome.

And while acne is nothing to be ashamed of, it’s hard for me to not obsess over its existence. I tend to pick my pimples, too, which usually makes things way worse.

So if you’re like me, I wanted to share the products I use to get rid of my pimples. Some work in an instant, while others help me to not pick at my zits.
