My skin condition today

My skin condition today is...

It's a mess.

To be more specific, when I touch it, it doesn't feel soft, and I can feel a lot of small, millet-like particles.

It doesn't look like I have pimples or acne to the naked eye, but rather it feels like I've worn a bit of dirt.

Why is this happening?

Will using a scrub make my skin a bit softer?

I'm worried that touching it might make it worse, so I'm debating if it would be better to just leave it alone until it calms down.

I'm also wondering if that might be having an effect because I'm about to get my period.
