Understanding skin breakouts

Do you always experience breakouts? If your response is yes, then you should note that your skin is trying to tell you it needs some cleansing. When breakouts occur it often tells you a lot about what is happening in your body. This week, we are looking at what the breakouts on your face may be implying. Breakout on nose Your nose is one of the most common sites of acne. Pores in this area tend to be larger in size, so they can clog more easily. This can result in pimples and red bumps that look like cysts.

Before you try to treat nose acne, it is important to know the type of acne is it. This is because it can be acne vulgaris or acne rosacea. Once you identify the exact cause of your nose acne, you will be able to use perfect treatment for it. Breakouts on the cheeks Face mapping can be useful in helping you to identify the cause of constant breakouts on your cheeks by offering important clues such as physiological imbalances.

Lack of facial cleanliness can result in blemishes, but if you are experiencing constant and aggressive flareups, it is most likely a deeper problem. Sometimes, acne is caused by an internal problem and will only clear up after that problem is fixed.

If you are having constant breakouts on your lower cheeks, it could be due to poor dental hygiene, bacteria from cell phones, touching the face, smoking and dirty pillows. Your hands can be the culprit of acne on your face, so try to avoid touching your face. Mobile phones have become such a big part of our everyday existence that you never considered how much dirt and bacteria has built up on your device. Chin breakouts Breakouts on the chin and jaw line area is often due to hormonal shifts and imbalances in the body. Hormones stimulate oil production, which leads to the growth of bacteria getting trapped in the pores. Although many women get chin breakouts during their monthly menstrual period, it can also be caused by hormonal shifts and candida. Candida is a type of yeast that is naturally in our bodies. Some causes of yeast overgrowth include stress, taking antibiotics, and low immune. Forehead breakouts Forehead acne often looks like solid red bumps, called papules. You might also see bumps with a collection of pus at the top. These are called pustules. Oil called sebum normally lubricates and protects your skin. Sebum is produced in tiny oil glands called sebaceous glands. Oil gets to the surface of your skin through small holes called pores. Sometimes pores get clogged with dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria grow inside, creating swollen bumps. Those bumps are pimples. The factors that increase oil production and make you more likely to get acne include hormones, stress and certain medications. Also, people get forehead ace during their puberty stage. Breakouts between brows Breakout between the eyebrows can be caused by stress, late night eating, greasy foods and alcohol. Hairline breakouts Oils and dry skin build up naturally, especially in hairy areas. Makeup can cause a buildup of oils that aren’t natural to the body. Foundation, for example, can clog the pores, causing pimples. Hair products such as hairspray, mousse, oils and gels can contribute to an excess of oil and skin reactions in the hairline. Eye/ear breakouts Causes of pimples in the ear include exposure to a dirty or dusty environment, glands in the ear producing too much oil, sharing and using dirty ear-buds or headphones. For the eyes, inflammation of eyelash follicles is often the main culprit.
