anything we can do to avoid them? Are they caused by an increase in hormone production that time of the month?

Hormones can cause acne all by themselves, but munch foods make it worse. Eliminate the munch foods and your acne is limited to the hormonal influence only.

The week before menstruation your estrogen and progesterone levels are strongly elevated. Progesterone stimulates the production of sebum and estrogen may cause water retention. (the combination that can cause acne)
