What is your pimple telling you? 🧐

Welcome back angels! 🤗

Do you know your body is giving you signals if you are having acne in a particular area in your face?

Bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes also play a role in the inflammation, which results in the red bumps that characterise as pimples or acne.

Certain areas of the face may be more prone to acne breakouts for various reasons.

1. Hairline and temples

Acne around the hairline and temples, called forehead acne, may be due to the use of certain hair products. When this is the case, it is called pomade acne.

How to Prevent:

Using simpler formulations, or avoiding these ingredients in hair care products, may help prevent acne from forming around the hairline.

It is especially important to prevent oily hair products from coming into contact with the face.

2. T-zone: Forehead, nose, and chin

The sebaceous glands produce sebum, which is an oily substance that moisturizes and protects the skin. Excess sebum production can cause acne.

Extra oil production means more breakouts may occur in these areas than other parts of the face.

The researchers found that a person with higher sebum production has more chances to acne in the T-zone, which covers the forehead and nose.

Whereas, younger people with acne had more acne around the U-zone, which covers the cheeks and chin, than in the T-zone.

How to Prevent:

Use the right skincare product for oil control and acne focus

3. Cheeks

Breakouts on the cheeks can occur as a result of acne mechanica, which develops due to friction or rubbing of the skin.

For example, this may occur when a person holds a cell phone against their face, when they move against the pillow in their sleep, and when they wear a piece of equipment or clothing that has a chin strap.

How to Prevent:

Addressing the cause of friction against the skin usually results in the improvement of the acne. Such as avoid holding a cell phone against your face or touching your face.

4. Jawline

Scientists have tended to link acne around the jawline to fluctuations in hormones.

Research has also found that 39–85% of females with acne have worse acne in the days before menstruation.

Since some people with acne do not have hormone abnormalities, however, other factors — such as stress and increased sensitivity of oil glands to hormones — may be the cause.

How to Prevent:

Exercise more and do things that make you distress
