Why do I have acne on my chin?
Contents
Acne sometimes makes an appearance on certain areas of the face! Far from being the prerogative of adolescent skin, pimples frequently appear in adulthood, particularly on women. While they can invade the cheeks or the whole face, their preferred location is often the chin and jawline. Where does acne on the lower face come from, and how can we put an end to it? We tell you all about it in this article.
What causes pimples on the chin?
Several factors come into play to explain the appearance ofacne on the chin in adulthood:
- The hormonal factor: blemishes can appear at certain times of the menstrual cycle, during pregnancy, at menopause, or if your contraception isn't working for you.
- Oily or combination skin (i.e. shiny skin on the T-zone: nose / forehead / chin) that is poorly cared for, or with unsuitable products, is an ideal breeding ground for pimples and blackheads.
- A period of stress, worry, an unbalanced lifestyle, and skin problems appear without delay in this area. Wearing a mask also encourages the proliferation of bacteria - we speak of Maskné
- Lastly, certain medications can cause cysts, lesions and papules on the lower face and jawline.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle to fight acne
To get rid of acne on the chin, you may need to rethink your daily lifestyle.
And it starts with your diet: avoid refined sugars, fatty foods such as cold meats, and ready-made meals that are often too high in fat and salt, in favor of healthier foods packed with vitamins, minerals and Omega 3. Certain fruits and vegetables are particularly good for fighting pimples. Green vegetables, for example, are rich in antioxidants and zinc, which promote beautiful skin.
You should also limit your alcohol intake, which encourages acne-prone skin, and drink plenty of water to flush out waste products.
If you use make-up to camouflage these small skin imperfections, choose light formulas that don't clog pores, otherwise you'll get into a vicious circle. And in the evening, cleanse your skin very carefully to remove all traces of powder, concealer or foundation and let it breathe.
As tempting as it is, avoid fiddling with your pimples and bringing your hands to your face on a regular basis: you'll only aggravate the problem and reignite the inflammation. It's better to be patient and rely on your skin care products to purify your skin. The Northern Light range is the perfect ally for restoring clear, even skin!
