Dilemma: PMS

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007 | Beauty Tips, Remedies

Ahh, the luxuries of being female…including an all-inclusive monthly ticket to Pre-Menstrual Syndrome land! But wait, we didn’t sign up for this! Alas, it’s free. And we must go through with it.

But not without a fight. In addition to donning my incognito sunglasses, unruly hair, terry tube dresses, and flip flops for this special event, I’ve also got a survival kit to get me through the week.

Dilemma: Yucky skin
Solution: When our skin becomes an oil slick (and breeding ground for zits), it’s always helpful to have Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets at our disposal. They’re the perfect size to carry around in your pocket or handbag, and after a few blots your skin is shine-free. To keep the shine at bay, I love Burt’s Bees Complexion Mist for oily skin. It’s infused with all-natural mattifying ingredients including purified water, lemon & lime oil, and rosemary oil: perfect for clarifying yucky skin.

Dilemma: Bloat and discomfort
Solution: I have an array of Traditional Medicinals teas stockpiled in my cupboard. These aren’t your average teas; the herbal, organic formulas found in TM teas are excellent remedies for things like colds, stress, and even PMS symptoms. Traditional Medicinals PMS Tea is a perfect caffeine-free formula to alleviate bloat and soothe the body - much-needed relief!

Dilemma: Moodiness
Solution: This one doesn’t need an explanation. Pop some Vitamin B-Complex pills (for stress and anxiety), take a warm bath, drink some aforementioned tea – spiked with a teaspoon of whiskey if we’re that bad – and relax. Now is not the time to lash out on our boyfriend, mom, or coworker! We’re not in any position to be saying things that we don’t mean.

Chill, girlfriends! We’ll get through this.

I’ve never heard of stress pills in my life. Do they actually work well?
Come to think of it, I’ve never heard of PMS tea, either.

London,

The ’stress pills’ - or vitamin B complex - do very much work. They are relaxing as well as increase your energy levels. Give them a try!
