Acne can reveal underlying health issues, but it’s often caused by simple lifestyle factors that can be easily changed. By identifying triggers, we can prevent future breakouts.
Here’s a quick guide to acne causes and solutions:
- Around the Mouth: Caused by irritation from objects like phones or cosmetics. Cleanse gently twice a day, use non-comedogenic makeup, and avoid touching your face.
- On the Nose: Larger pores and oiliness make it prone to acne. It can be triggered by diet, stress, or poor hygiene. Try Tea Tree Oil or sulfur-based treatments, and consult a dermatologist if needed.
- On the Forehead: Oily hair or hair products may cause acne. Wash your hair more often and use a gentle cleanser to prevent clogged pores.
- Jaw and Neck: Hormonal changes, such as during menstruation or with birth control, often cause acne in these areas. Use a non-comedogenic cleanser and moisturizer to manage it.
- On Cheeks: Acne can be caused by phones, dirty pillowcases, or lifestyle habits. Wipe down your phone, change pillowcases regularly, and wash your hands often.
Always consult a doctor before taking action
