What do your breakouts mean?
Wednesday 28th September 2016
We all get breakout from time to time.
From that time of the month to an overload of alcohol, breakouts can happen for a number of reasons, but have you ever wondered why you seem to always get them in a certain area.
Below are the top 3 most common areas to breakout and what they mean!
As a general rule of thumb, breakouts along the jawline and chin that feel heavy and sore to touch are hormonal. They are most common around the time of your period due to the hormonal activity associated with the menstral cycle.
Hormonal Acne is Often Caused by Sensitivity to Androgens. Our body balances our hormones delicately to keep everything flowing smoothly. When the hormone balance is offset, the body has to work around it and make do with what it has. Hormonal acne can be treated medically by introducing a birth control pill containing oestrogen which balances out the high level of progesterone.
At Heavenly Green we much prefer to treat hormonal acne the natural way and Skin Accumax is the perfect blend of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that have been patented and are taken in tablet form. When battling with hormonal acne you need to feed the skin from the inside out, so supplements are a vital ingredient to your skincare routine.
Breakouts found in the centre of your forehead are related to liver function, which, you've guessed it often means you've had a bit too much to drink recently!
Sensitivities to certain medications can also cause breakout in this area.
Spots arising on the cheeks and sides of the face can be related to digestive issues.
Diets high in fat and sugar are not good for the overall health of the body, and as the skin is your largest organ a poor diet will directly affect your skin condition.
Introducing probiotics, reducing dairy intake (which has been linked to overproduction of sebum and mucus in the body) and eating a well balanced diet can all help.
