Being an adult woman, even over 40, and having pimples on your chin is much more common than you thought. Discover the best tips to get rid of these very specific outbreaks.

Hormonal changes, sleep problems and external factors such as lifestyle, stress or an unbalanced diet are the most common causes of this problem.

ACNE ON THE CHIN DUE TO MENSTRUATION

Among the most common causes of pimples on the chin, jawline or neck is hormonal imbalance. typical of women during menstruation.

During the menstrual cycle, the activity of the sebaceous glands can increase. Hormones increase the oiliness of the skin and affect mood. This makes the skin and mood more sensitive . And if your skin is prone to acne, even more so.

Plus, your body retains more fluid . This is why you feel more bloated .

Sometimes, retaining water improves the skin. However, increased progesterone can cause more oil in the skin. This clogs the pores and makes it easier for bacteria to build up . When this happens, an acne breakout appears, which is known as menstrual acne .

PIMPLES IN MENOPAUSE

Even if you're not that young anymore, you can still get pimples on your chin. This could be hormonal acne , related to hormonal changes in women over 40. It's common, as hormones change during menstruation , menopause , or polycystic ovary syndrome .

During perimenopause , estrogen levels drop before the menstrual cycle stops. This process can cause symptoms such as hot flashes , sleep problems , headaches , mood swings , and skin changes, affecting quality of life.

During this period, which can last between 7 and 14 years, there is a drop in estrogen levels , but testosterone levels remain the same .

Skin that does not regenerate well can cause pores to become clogged. This can lead to pimples on the chin , other parts of the face, neck and back , as well as blackheads.

PIMPLES ON THE CHIN DUE TO STRESS

Stress increases sebum production in response to dehydration caused by increased cortisol, thus facilitating the development of bacteria and the imbalance of the protective barrier .

In addition, stress alters the skin's immune response , which can be the source of other skin health problems such as rosacea or eczema .
