Breakouts on the sides of the face can have several causes:
-
Hair products: Hair products, such as conditioners, gels, and sprays, can transfer to the sides of the face and clog pores, causing breakouts.
-
Friction: Rubbing or friction from things like phone use, pillowcases, or hats can cause breakouts on the sides of the face.
-
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during menstruation or pregnancy, can cause breakouts on the sides of the face and other areas of the skin.
-
Skincare routine: Using skincare products that are too harsh or not appropriate for your skin type can cause breakouts.
-
Diet and lifestyle: Poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle factors can contribute to breakouts.
To prevent breakouts on the sides of your face, consider using non-comedogenic hair products, avoiding friction and pressure on the skin, using a gentle and appropriate skincare routine, and eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your breakouts persist, it may also be helpful to see a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.
