What's causing you to breakout ?






Acne is a major concern not only for young adults but grown ups too. For sometime, I will be posting all about understanding acne breakouts and things you can do to prevent or treat them. 

The Chin: 

Hormonal imbalances are known to be a major cause of acne around the chin area. You may find that the you are more prone to breaking out on your chin around the time of the month when the hormone levels are a little more spiked than usual. 

The Forehead:

According to ancient chinese medicine, DEHYDRATION is the main cause of breakouts on the forehead area. I cannot reiterate enough, the importance of drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
Your forehead could also be breaking out because you have oily hair or are prone to dandruff and have bangs (hair that falls on your forehead) on your forehead. The oil or dandruff flakes seep down to the forehead and cause breakouts.
Try to change your shampoo/conditioner and see if it is your existing brand of shampoo/conditioner that you are allergic to.  

The Cheeks:

Many a times, breakouts on the cheeks are caused by food allergies. For example, Dairy or Gluten Allergies. Try a gluten free diet and see if it works for you. Eliminate nuts and dairy products for sometime and look for a difference. 
Always remember to disinfect your cellphone and pillowcases. These two are a breeding ground for all the dirt of the world which ultimately comes and sticks to your face. 

The Nose:

There isn't a particular reason that is known for breakouts on the nose other than that the nose has larger pores and as a result of which it is more prone to bigger breakouts. The nose needs special attention in terms of plunging out all the dirt. Make sure you exfoliate really well on a daily basis. 


Stay tuned for a post on what kind of products to look for while trying to prevent or treat acne. Till then I will just just leave you with some cliched advice that you already know but still don't use it enough.. just drink tons of water, keep your hands off your face and keep your skin squeaky clean ! 

Thank you for reading. May your day be just as beautiful as you. 

Good luck !
