When women reach their menstrual period, their moods often fluctuate greatly, and they can easily become angry or even irritable.

This will affect the body's blood circulation, thereby hindering the discharge of menstrual blood and causing dysmenorrhea.

So, women must do a good job of emotional regulation during menstruation. Don't be angry all the time, learn to exercise restraint and deal with what happens rationally.

Of course, you can also chat with your best friends, so that your inner worries can be released.

In order to improve this problem, it is recommended to wash your face more often to remove excess oil.
