Where is all this acne coming from??

[suzukigrrl]

I have been having crazy acne in the same two spots on my face for months now. Only acne in those two specific spots and nowhere else on my face. I've been more diligent about cleansing, exfoliating, using my acne toner and Benzoyl peroxide. I washed all my towels, sheets, clothes. I'm wearing my hair pulled back from my face. I think I might have some acne bacteria in some of my face products. I didn't wear my liquid foundation today. I hope that if I buy a fresh bottle of foundation it will help. What else can I do? I'm worried that I'm going to need to sanatize or toss out all my face makeup in order to get rid of this acne.

Any chance you could go au naturel for a few days? If you´ve started any new products lately you might have an allergic reaction? I´d use as little as possible, maybe some aloe vera gel for moisture, an honey mask for moisture and antibacterial action or an apple cider vinegar toner.

If you really need to put your face on I´d try washing every brush and applicator, and perhaps buy the new foundation. Could it be hormonal, though?

If it is your cosmetics, wouldn't the acne appear on other parts of your face as well?

May you are just going through an hormonal change? menopause? j/k

I get pimples each time I get my period, and I get the huge kind, ugh

if you use a phone/cell phone dirt from the cell phone might clog the pores on your chin and cheeks...my friend had this problem and she started using alcohol pads to wipe her phone before she used it

I am going through the same thing right now so I can empathize with ya. Sometimes our bodies can become a little overloaded with toxins and this can cause breakouts in specific areas correlating to the sluggish organ or whatever. Where are you breaking out? Are you drinking enough water?

Thanks for all the tips everyone! I went without foundation yesterday and today, and no new breakouts! I guess I get to buy a new bottle of foundation. I needed a refill anyway. This has been going on for months, and I'm hoping this will be the end. I've been getting a zit in the space between the outer corner of my lip and the bottom of my cheeckbone on the right side of my face. Or I've been getting a zit on the very edge of my jawline on the left side of my face near my chin. Totally random!

I'm going through that right now as well, I took a cycle of antbiotics so I don't scar a lot and so that the acne doesn't become complicated. Right bout now, nothing is working very well. I feel like the treatments i apply at night help but then i reverse the effects with my makeup. I use mineral foundation and it never broke me out before so i'm thinking it might be my Smashbox primer or my Lancome moisturizer.

Good luck, update us!
