It\u2019s just that the T-Zone is the one place that most people have issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Causes of acne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The causes of acne are complex and can include increased skin cell turnover, excess oil production, inflammation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/blog-skinandme-com-ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/\">acne-causing bacteria<\/a>. Acne can also be influenced by a number of health and lifestyle factors, such as stress, hormonal changes and some medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The acne face map<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Acne face map is an at-a-glance look at some of the places you may experience acne and why. Its purpose is to illustrate the myriad ways and areas people can get breakouts. Remember that your skin is unique. For a more comprehensive overview, your dermatologist would be able to identify causes, triggers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/acne-treatment\">acne treatments<\/a> to best clear things up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jawline acne<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spots on the jawline indicate a fluctuation in hormones. Excess androgens can trigger oil glands to overproduce oil and this can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-comedogenic-and-non-comedogenic-products\/\">block pores<\/a>.&nbsp; Ensure you cleanse well and remove makeup and sunscreen from around your jawline every evening. Try not to touch your face as this can exacerbate the spread of spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acne on chin&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you regularly get spots and whiteheads on your chin, you&#8217;re dealing with hormone fluctuations again. This is common in adolescence, during your monthly menstrual cycle or during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-do-i-care-for-menopausal-skin\/\">menopause<\/a> when<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-how-do-hormones-affect-my-skin\/\"> hormone levels<\/a> are disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Forehead acne<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of your key T-zone area for flare-ups. Watch out for hairline pore-clogging. Often our hair follicles can overproduce oil that isn\u2019t cleansed thoroughly, leading to blemishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acne on cheeks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheeks are outside of your T-zone but not immune to flare-ups. If you have combination skin, be mindful of over-using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/our-ingredients\">active ingredients<\/a> here (your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/daily-doser-spotlight-2\/\">Daily Doser<\/a> will always start with lower concentrations of active ingredients to build your skin\u2019s tolerance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-am-i-having-a-reaction-to-my-skincare\/\">minimal irritation<\/a>). You want to avoid triggering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/dry-skin-101-dry-skin-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">dryness<\/a>, which can increase the redness associated with acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Blackheads around lips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Acne around the mouth can be hormonal but also sign of blocked pores. Ensure you cleanse thoroughly in the evenings and if you wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-comedogenic-and-non-comedogenic-products\/\">comedogenic<\/a> lip salves (such as petroleum jelly) regularly, be mindful that this may be a trigger, blocking pores further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acne on side of face<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not as mysterious as it first seems. Acne on one side of your face may be triggered by repeatedly sleeping on one side (avoid heavy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-comedogenic-and-non-comedogenic-products\/\">pore-clogging<\/a> moisturiser and wash your pillowcases more regularly. Try a silver-weave pillowcase that naturally repels blemish-causing bacteria.) If you find yourself cupping your face in your hands or holding a phone to your face for regular and long periods of time, you might want to go hands-free and see if that clears things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Medical facts checked by Head of Medical, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\"><strong>Dr Jason Thomson<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>You might also like&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-dose wp-block-embed-the-dose\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PNxrpFM8oM\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/\">Ask A Dermatologist: Where Do My Spots Come From?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Ask A Dermatologist: Where Do My Spots Come From?&#8221; &#8212; The Dose\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/embed\/#?secret=Vz3A9zWVpQ#?secret=PNxrpFM8oM\" data-secret=\"PNxrpFM8oM\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-dose wp-block-embed-the-dose\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"DUSpdQ9Lbp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/mythbuster-purging-explained\/\">Myth Buster: Skin Purging Explained<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Myth Buster: Skin Purging Explained&#8221; &#8212; The Dose\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/mythbuster-purging-explained\/embed\/#?secret=hkuwY1SZgG#?secret=DUSpdQ9Lbp\" data-secret=\"DUSpdQ9Lbp\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#edf5f8\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>New to Skin + Me? <\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for a routine refresh? <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/login?back=%2Faccount-summary%2Fmanage-upcoming-orders\">Add the Dream Routine to your Skin + Me subscription<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In need of a restock? <\/strong>Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\">The Skincare Shop<\/a> for one-off purchases of your Routine Essentials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our acne face map highlights the most common areas you\u2019ll get blemishes, blackheads and breakouts.
