Chin – More often than not, chin breakouts are linked to women’s menstrual cycles, but they have also been linked to imbalances in the colon due to the large intestine.
“You can decrease the effect by getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water, eating leafy veggies, and keeping skin squeaky clean,” says Lindsey Blondin, lead esthetician at George the Salon Chicago.
Jaw – Like your chin, acne around your jawline is also menstrual-related. New York-based dermatologist, Dr. Whitney Bowe says both “birth control and spironolactone (which decreases testosterone levels) are both effective treatment options for these pesky pimples”
Under Eyes – If your breakouts tend to stick to your under eyes and upper cheek area, this could be sign of a kidney problem.
For more information on face mapping, talk to your dermatologist to see if this approach may be right for you.
