Assuming that your face is kept clean and your vitamin intake is where it needs to be, breakouts almost always reveal something about your diet and/or your body's internal state. Now theories are emerging that locations of breakouts tell us even more than ever . . .
Natural Health magazine had an article that proved this and offered much insight. Here's the shortened version . . .
Facial breakout locations their indications:
FOREHEAD - always indicates a digestive problem
CHEEKS - indication of too much sugar (this includes sugars from fruits and fruit juices)
AROUND MOUTH - indication of too many berries in diet
CHIN - indication of too much dairy in diet
JAW LINE - indication of a hormonal imbalance (adding omega 3, 6, & 9 to your diet could possibly help)

Hey bro, read this blog every day and its hella tight.
Just wanted to add that I went on drugs like acutane and my acnee didnt go away untill i stoped eating wheat. so I agree with you post about skin problems somtime are caused by diet.
This blog is so great to read on a snowy day in DC. I read almost every post this year today. Call me a homebody. At least I'm well and good.
i will admit i was on accutane for a good week and a half (back in 2003) when my body told me that this stuff is very harmful to the body and shouldnt be taken by humans ( or anything for that matter) the simple things u stated in ur post makes me laugh because my face says EXACTLY that !!! trying to curb foods and habits is tough but with enough encouragement and a great team like this one..... im getting better !!!
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've struggled with acne for years. By suggestion of my doctor, I took antibiotics for 2 years on and off (typically in 6 month intervals). I finally decided to stop when I realized they were causing more internal problems than they were supposed to solve. I spoke with a naturopathic doctor who encouraged me to reduce my dairy and sugar intake, while adding a few supplements to my diet (including guggul which was mentioned in another post). Everyone else has noticed tremendous progress in my battle with acne. I'm a little harder on myself :)
