I don't have a regular period...so my skin is always sort of...well...I dunno. I have PCOS - but not really acne. I do have the facial hair (which I pluck EW!) but get zits occassionally. I am pretty sure I have all of a sudden ovulated this week (random...weird...never have before) and my skin is literally like PERFECT!!! I love it! So is your skin at its clearest when you are ovulating? And at its worst right before your period? I don't know!! I am using this new Burt's Bee's face wash that could be it too...but just checking to see what your skin is like...
