The "ugly" feeling many women experience during their period is primarily due to hormonal fluctuations in the menstrual cycle. The rise and fall of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can directly affect your skin, mood, and overall appearance.. Are you really 'ugly' before your period? Doctors say it is this hormone surge — particularly the spike in progesterone — that can make people feel "off." But it is important to remember that these reactions are part of a normal, healthy cycle.
