What Your Pimples Say About You

Your skin is basically the canvas for what is actually going on inside your body. It has been said that pimples and breakouts don’t just occur randomly but can rather tell you about your health and hygiene. Have a look at what our rubies thought about the Thursday Plantation Acne Range. 

We have mapped out a guideline below which will help you understand what is causing your pimples and breakouts:

Pimples on your Chin, Jawline or Neck – This is an indication that your period is on its way, your body tends to produce more oil around this period therefore resulting in clogging of pores. We advise you to pay attention to your facial cleansing routine during your period.

Pimples on your Nose and Forehead – This is known as your T-zone area and pimples occur here due to stress. In order to prevent this from happening we recommend you use a leave on acne treatment during that stressful period.

Pimples Along Your Hairline – This is all caused by an overload of hair products. By using too much hair product close to your roots results in oily hair rather than clean hair after being washed. Avoid applying hair products close to your roots and make sure when you wash your face you scrub all the way into your hairline to prevent your pores from becoming clogged and congested.

Pimples on Your Cheeks – This is a result of a dirty phone or dirty hands, anything which is in contact with your face for long periods of time. We suggest you wipe your phone down with anti-bacterial wipes daily and do your best to keep your hands AWAY from your face at all times.

Pimples Around Your Mouth – The food you eat tends to be the culprit of pimples around your mouth. Acidic food leads to inflammation where as greasy food can and will physically block your pores around your mouth. To prevent these pimples from appearing remember to always wipe down your mouth after eating a meal. Click here to read what foods can help you obtain that gorgeous glow.

Pimples on Your Chest and Back – This is caused by wearing the wrong sports bra, because acne-causing bacteria thrives in moist places. Wearing cotton clothes to the gym can turn your skin into a breeding ground for pimples. Invest in seamless cottons and materials which absorb sweat keeping your body as dry as possible while working out.
