Six Common Reasons Why Breakouts Keep Recurring In The Same Area Of Your Face
Recurring spots in the same area on your face? Here are some common reasons why this could be happening:
Touching or picking – your hands and nails carry dirt and bacteria, which can transfer to your skin, leading to more inflammation and breakouts
Hormonal changes – hormonal fluctuations such as those during the menstrual cycle, menopause or pregnancy can trigger breakouts, often appearing on the chin, jawlines, lower cheeks and neck
Clogged pores – these occur when dead skin cells and excess oil accumulate, creating blockages that can trigger recurring breakouts in the same area
Skincare products – some products you’re using may be clogging your pores or irritating your skin, leading to a persistent breakout (same applies to the makeup you’re using)
Diet – foods high in sugar, salt and dairy can impact your skins balance, potentially triggering breakouts
Stress – stress can lead to spots and breakouts due to the way it affects your hormones and overall skin health
