Can I Start Taking Birth Control Pills In Mid-cycle When Having Acne?

I have been on birth control for the past 6 years or so pretty consistently for acne. I went off for a few months to try and regulate my hormones however the acne is back so I have decided to go back on. I am currently mid-cycle and am wondering if it is okay to start the pills now. I know that that is not advised if you re taking the pills to protect from pregnancy, however since I am taking it for my skin I wanted to know if it was okay.
