Hormonal Jawline Acne (PMS-Related)
What is the problem?
Many adult women notice stubborn breakouts that show up like clockwork — usually around the jawline, chin, or lower cheeks. These flare-ups tend to happen right before or during their period. Unlike teenage acne, this type feels deeper, more painful, and harder to get rid of. It can leave behind marks and affect confidence, especially when it keeps coming back every month.
What causes the problem?
The main trigger is hormonal changes. Before menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, while testosterone becomes relatively higher. This shift stimulates oil glands, leading to:
- Excess sebum production
- Clogged pores around the jawline and chin
- Inflammation that makes pimples feel sore and swollen
Other lifestyle factors can make things worse:
- High stress (cortisol spikes also affect oil balance)
- Lack of sleep around PMS
- High-sugar or high-dairy diets that trigger more oil production
- Using the wrong skincare, especially harsh cleansers or pore-clogging creams
How to fix the problem?
Hormonal acne is tricky, but it can be managed with the right care:
- Balance, don’t strip – Over-cleansing makes skin produce even more oil. Stick to a gentle cleanser that doesn’t dry out your skin.
- Targeted treatments – Ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide help keep pores clear and calm inflammation.
- Lifestyle support – More rest, stress management, and balanced meals reduce flare-ups.
- Professional care – In-office treatments are faster and more effective at calming hormonal breakouts and preventing scars compared to home remedies.
