Went to a saloon for facial today. Haven't have a facial treatment for ages. The beautician said i have a lot of pimples on my lower chin and along my jawline and this means either i have lots of toxin in my body or i am having hormone imbalance. oh no !! hormone imbalance?! this really scares me. So, when i came home, i did some online research. These are some interesting finding:

Some believe that the state of one's skin reflects one's whole being, physically or mentally. Many BEAUTY expert states in their blogs or articles that they believe the location at which the breakout appear actually relate to certain factors namely: hormone, digestive problem and stress. These are some common causes and locations of pimples breakout in a diagram.

There are some factors that might cause the breakouts at my jaw line and lower chin area ( beside the hormone imbalance suggested by the beautician) :
1) Touching the face?( I think this is the main reason)
- I have this bad habit of resting my face on my hand and touching the back of my neck. This might be the main cause of the breakout. Maybe if i want to reduce the breakout , i need to change this bad habit. But it is easier to be said than done.
2) Talking on cell phones?
- The oil and dirt on the cell phone maybe transfer to the skin and clog the pores and thus, resulting breakouts along the jawline. This can be reduce by using hands-free and sanitizing the phone frequently.
3) Not washing the sheets or bed linen enough ?
However, according to some of my doctors friends, there is no direct linkage between the cause of breakout and the area where it sprouts, at least there is no absolute proof to that .
