Different areas of the body can break out for different reasons, from sweat and friction to oily skin, clogged pores, hair products, and hormonal changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Cheeks \ud83d\udcf1<\/strong><br>Your phone, pillowcases, and sheets can transfer oil and bacteria to your skin. Clean your phone regularly and change pillowcases often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Forehead \ud83d\udc87\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/strong><br>Oily hair and hair products can transfer oil to your forehead and clog pores. Try less-oily hair products and use a gentle cleanser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Back \ud83c\udfcb\ufe0f<\/strong><br>Sweat, tight clothing, dirty bedding, and some skincare products can contribute to back acne. Shower after workouts and keep clothing clean and breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Nose \ud83d\udc43<\/strong><br>The nose has larger, oilier pores, making it easier for buildup to occur. Stress, diet, medications, and skincare habits can also play a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Around the Mouth \ud83d\udc8b<\/strong><br>Irritation, cosmetics, frequent touching, and hormonal changes may trigger breakouts. Gentle, non-comedogenic skincare can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Legs \ud83e\uddb5<\/strong><br>Friction, tight clothing, and blocked hair follicles can cause bumps that sometimes resemble acne. If they&#8217;re painful or itchy, they may be something else, such as folliculitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Jaw &amp; Neck<\/strong><br>Breakouts here are often associated with hormonal fluctuations, although hormones aren&#8217;t the only possible cause. A consistent, gentle skincare routine may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Shoulders \ud83d\udc55<\/strong><br>Sweat, excess oil, dead skin cells, and friction from clothing can clog pores. Loose, breathable clothing may reduce irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your skin can react to many everyday habits\u2014but <strong>the location of your breakouts may give you clues about what\u2019s triggering them.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Text Acne doesn\u2019t only appear on your face.
