Types of Acne

•The pore or follicle opening gets blocked (usually with flattened, dead skin cells that don’t shed properly typically due to hormonal imbalances and dietary compounds like lectins).

•There is excessive sebum (a.k.a. oil) production due to excess testosterone, typically from insulin issues or poor hormone metabolism (like gallbladder sluggishness, slow digestion, or improper hormone metabolism in the liver).

•Bacteria grow and infect the pore. With the pore now blocked and sealed with dead skin and oil, this creates a happy little home for bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes, which normally live on the skin’s surface without issue. Once outside air is kept out, it creates an anaerobic (without oxygen) environment in the pore for bacteria thrive.

•Finally, inflammation occurs in the blocked pore and surrounding skin tissue. Locally, the hormones of the immune system (called cytokines) start an inflammatory reaction under your skin’s surface. Now you’ve got the red, swollen, possibly warm to the touch, and perhaps even painful pimples, pustules, and cysts.

Forehead: Unhealthy Eating And Stress

Unhealthy eating and stress are probable offenders. In face mapping, your forehead is linked to your digestive and nervous systems, making it susceptible to diet and stress-related breakouts.

Nose: Bacteria And Buildup Of Excess Oil

The nose typically has larger pores compared to other areas on the face. A larger pore size makes the pores more susceptible to a buildup of excess oil. When combined with bacteria, this combination of factors could lead to acne flare ups.

Cheeks: Cell Phone And Pillowcase.

If spots are showing up on your cheeks, your cell phone and pillowcase may be to blame. Your phone accumulates plenty of bad-for-your-skin bacteria during the day, and wiping it down is a must, even if it looks clean. Your pillowcase is an equal haven for bacteria, so changing your pillowcases as often as you can may help reduce breakouts.

Chin And Jawline: Hormone

Hormones could be the cause of blemishes along your chin and jawline. Hormonal acne is caused by an excess of hormones due to menstruation, pregnancy and increased androgen levels.

Hairline: Beauty Product Buildup

Breakouts along the hairline are often due to beauty product buildup.Breakouts around the hairline can also be due to hormones (puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy). Sometimes washing your face too frequently or “too aggressively” may dry out the skin, disrupt the skin barrier and trigger excess oil production.

Beauty experts swear by this rule
Double cleansing is literally cleaning your face twice to help remove all the makeup residue.
 

How often should I exfoliate my face?

This is the million-dollar question. Exfoliating has its benefits, but at the same time over exfoliation can leave you with micro tears, dry and flaky skin, redness and inflammation. Exfoliating too much or using a scrub with harsh exfoliants can often lead to over exfoliation. All skin types are different and one should listen to their skin, if it is asking for exfoliation or not. Despite this, you should not exfoliate more than 2 to 3 times per week. 
For extremely dry and sensitive skin, exfoliating not more than once or twice should be good enough. Dry and sensitive skin should not opt for mechanical exfoliation as it can really hurt the skin and cause redness and micro tears. Micro tear is a term which represents weakening of the skin's natural barrier, making it prone to damage and dryness and causing it to flake and fall off prematurely.
