Today I woke up and a huge break out and I was like EEEP! My skin type is combination and I don't get acne much in the winter, so you could say it was unexpected. My first line of attack was to put some acne medicine on it. I use the Neutrogena Naturals Acne Spot Treatment. So far I love it because it usually gets rid of my breakouts within 3 days. The reason is because it's clear and can be applied anytime. When I breakout in the morning I can put it in and no one will notice it. The 2nd thing I do is usually wait it out. If it's not gone within 3 days then I try to figure out why it happened. Certain spots on your face break out for different reasons. Read below for your acne analysis:
1. Forehead: Triggered by stress or not enough sleep.
2. Above Brows: Usually appear before, after, or during a cold or flu.
3. Between Brows: Caused by over indulgence.
4. Cheeks: Caused by smoking or breathing polluted air.
5. Side of Chin: Usually by hormones. (In other words when your Aunt Flo is visiting)
These may not be the cases in all acne, but this is what I have found from reading articles online and in books. Most of these apply to me, but I don't acne in all these places mostly on my forehead and between my brows. Hope you find this useful to your unexpected breakouts. Until next time!
