Hormonal breakouts plague even those with "perfect" skin. I get them on my chin at least once a month, and they seem to come out of nowhere.
I had an impromptu chat with a dermatologist, and she told me that changes in our cycles are usually to blame for that one painful blemish that pops up in our cheek and chin areas. But she did offer a word of advice for stopping them around our periods — cut back on sugar and dairy the week before since those two elements can cause inflammation in the body. Now, that we have that bit of advice, how do we combat them in the meantime? Pimple patches.
Pimple patches seem to be all the rage these days, and the reviews say they actually work. You can find them everywhere, including Amazon. I found six of the highest rated patches that you can have shipping right to your door with two-day Prime shipping.

For $10, you can get 80 patches and keep those ugly cystic pimples at bay. Users of this patch say that in just one use overnight you can see a difference. Not to mention, Auslka offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
