In women the stage of the menstrual cycle can have a dramatic effect on the severity of acne. Between two days and a week before their menstrual period begins women go through a rapid change in their hormone levels. Clearly the hormone levels are important as other factors which attempt to modify or manipulate hormone balance tend to have similar effects on acne. Stopping taking birth control medication is one example of this, and the ultimate hormone mixer - pregnancy - is another.
Start by cleaning your face. You should use a gentle cleanser. The cleanser isn't the acne fighting step. Plus, you only have moderate acne, so you don't need a cleanser with huge amounts of acids and alcohols. Use something like Neutrogena or Clearasil. The face wash will remove dirt, oil, makeup (if you wear it, of course), and dead skin cells. If it's hard to get your skin really clean, you might want to try using a scrub once and a while to remove dead skin cells.
