How To Get Rid Of Sudden Acne Around The Mouth
*While the emergence of a sudden pimple can put a damper on anyone's day, a breakout near the mouth can be unsightly as well as painful. Humans instinctively glance between the eyes and the mouth during conversation. Thus, a pimple around the mouth can make the poor victim more self conscious than a pimple in another less conspicuous spot; even if they can't pinpoint exactly why. Luckily for most people, the mouth region is not a hot spot for breakouts. The emergence and appearance of breakouts around the mouth can be reduced dramatically a few preventative techniques and some damage control!
*The first and most importantly tip to preventing breakouts around the mouth is to make sure that all makeup is washed off the face at the end of the day. Many women apply foundation to their skin which can clog the pores. If it is left on overnight, the pores have no way to breathe and will be more likely to clog and fill with pus. Remember to carefully remove all makeup at the end of the day or before a work out. Do not forget to wash around the mouth, around the nose, and the eyebrows as these are common spots to forget but WILL form painful, noticeable outbreaks!
*Secondly, analyze your stash of lip gloss and lipstick. Are your breakouts occurring more often when you use a certain product? Sometimes the sudden emergence of breakouts where you have not readily had them before can signal an allergic reaction. Similarly, products like very sticky lip gloss and high matte lipsticks are often pigment and wax heavy. These will clog the pores if they spread onto the skin surrounding the lips. Many women apply lip gloss, lipstick and lip balm religiously. Be wary of this practice if you suffer often from breakouts in the mouth region. It is not uncommon for women and men to have blackheads and clogged pores around their mouth that go unnoticed until they flare up. Natural products such as Burt's Bee's lip balms offer shine and smoothness for the lip gloss addict, but without the added chemicals that can lead to a breakout. There are also tinted balms available in this same line for the makeup maven that needs a bit of color on her lips to feel complete.
*Lastly, one of the least preventable causes of breakouts around the mouth is hormones. The chin is one area of the face that is especially susceptible to hormonal breakouts. Many women will find in general that their skin tends to go a little crazy right before that time of the month. Pay attention to determine.
