What do your break outs mean?

No matter how old you  are, how young you are, what race you are, or where abouts you live, no one is immune from the beauty battler which is the spot. And since I have recently found myself facinated by all things skin maintainance based.. this post will hopefully act as a beacon of light in a time which can sometimes feel scarily dark and spotty!!

It's sometimes more important to know why you are breaking out, rather than accepting it. I have devised a 5 part rule guide to follow on the reasons why you may be breaking out in a particular are and what it means to break out here. 

1. Forehead. Breakouts across the forehead are often triggered by stress or sleep deprivation. Make sure to log 7 to 9 hours of beauty rest a night to keep your forehead clear.
2. Above the brow. The area above the brow is affected by your immune system. Breakouts here tend to happen right before, after, or during a cold or flu. If you notice a breakout in this zone, slow down for a couple days, drink plenty of water and eat immune boosting foods!
3. Between brows. Breakouts between the brows can be caused by overindulgence of unhealthy foods or a food allergy. Cutting back on sugar, dairy, rich foods, and alcohol can help clear up skin in this zone.
4. Cheeks. Your cheeks are linked to your respiratory system. Smoking or breathing polluted air can cause breakouts here.
5. Side of chin. The sides of your chin are affected by hormones. Breakouts here occur around the time of your period and happen on one side or another depending on which ovary is ovulating that month.

Where do you break out most commonly?
