Does acne always appear in the same spot on your face?

Are you suffering from acne, but don't know what's causing the problem? If you pinpoint exactly where, when and what kind of acne appear on your face, you'll be closer to finding a solution!

So let's take a look at the five most commonly afflicted areas!

Spots on the forehead and temples

There can be multiple reasons for spots close to your hairline:

• perhaps they're caused by some hair product you're using,
• some of your cosmetics or primer might be clogging up your pores,
• the remains of makeup, facial cream or masks which aren't thoroughly removed can also cause acne,
• if you exercise regularly or during hot weather in the summer, perhaps the towels you're using aren't clean enough and if the sweat is washed off too late or with inappropriate cosmetics, it can also lead to skin problems.

Spots on the cheeks

These are most probably caused by sugar and milk. You should try radically reducing these in your diet and if this leads to a significant improvement of the problem, then you've already managed to provide for the beauty of your skin.

However, if the spots only appear on one side of your face, it's worth considering what comes into contact with that half of your face: your phone or perhaps some bad habit could be causing the problem.

Spots on your chin or around your mouth

We usually blame these spots on hormones; however, this isn't always the case. Still, deep and inflamed blemishes appearing about a week before your period can indeed be hormonal and there's not much you can do to prevent them. 

However, keep in mind that tiny white head pimples appearing around the mouth are likely caused by foodstuffs filled with salt and additives.

Spots on your forehead

These can also be caused by digestive issues, yet in many cases stress or a lack of sleep is enough for your body to send the signal that you've been doing something wrong lately.

Spots and blackheads on the T-line of your face

Clogged pores and acne appearing on your forehead, nose and chin are most often caused by using inappropriate cosmetics and makeup. If you have combined skin, you should make sure your cosmetics gently cleanse your facial skin without dehydrating it and also, it's worth paying more attention to using immaculately clean tools when applying your makeup.

Once you have an idea about what's causing your spots, it can make a huge difference if you treat your skin with gentler and more benign chemical and palm oil-free cosmetics.

Start by indentifying your skin type and choosing appropriate Mannas and instead of directly treating spots with alcohol-based products, I recommend our 100% natural, undiluted Manna Tea Tree Oil.
