Is your forehead constantly covered in pimples? Diet, hair products, or beauty treatments can cause face breakouts. Breakouts reveal more about your beauty and lifestyle habits than you think. Following this guide, you can prevent future skin irritation (but always consult your dermatologist first).
If You Break Out On Your Chin:
Take into account if it’s your cycle. Dr. Deanne Mraz Robinson, a board-certified dermatologist, said breakouts on the chin might be hormonal. Our hormones rise the week before our period, causing our oil glands or sebaceous glands to enlarge and cause deep cystic breakouts.”

Skin Associates of South Florida dermatologist Dr. Jacquelyn Dosal attributes lower jaw acne to a standard behavior you may not be aware of. “People often rest their chin in their hands while sitting at a desk,” Dosal said. This deposits bacteria on the skin and creates more blockage in the oil glands, resulting in acne and backup.
If You Break Out On Your Forehead:
Use hair products only on your strands. Keeping hair products like hairspray, dry shampoo, and gel from spraying on the forehead is one of the most significant modifiable factors. Skin benefits may differ from those of ingredients designed specifically for hair.

According to Dosal, helmets and hats worn near the forehead should also be avoided. Hair follicles are blocked by the heat and friction of hats, resulting in acne. Keep your hats and helmets clean by washing them weekly and avoiding rubbing them against your skin.
If You Break Out On Your Nose:
Pay attention to oil control. Medications, products, and procedures can reduce acne bacteria or oil if these quick fixes don’t work. Avoid wearing makeup underneath your mask if you’re prone to breakouts on your nose.
