Acne typically breaks out in various places on the face, the neck, the back, and even other parts of the body, however, in many cases, acne only breaks out in a particular spot. Take womens jaw acne for example. This is acne that appears along the jawline, but does not appear at all, or at least as badly, on other parts of the body or the face.

There are several common reasons for womens jaw acne. First, women usually have hair that is at least jaw length. The hair is often styled in such a way that it is actually touching the jawline. The oils from the hair frequently cause acne breakouts. Keep hair pulled back away from all areas of the face.

Another cause of jawline acne is that many people rest their heads by putting their jaws in the palm of their hands, and propping the arm - and head - up with an elbow on a table. This puts your hands in contact with your face. Your hands have oils that contribute to acne breakouts. Try to avoid touching your face at all - that includes the jawline.

The use of makeup is a common cause of womens jaw acne. Foundation makeup often cakes up in the natural lines on the face, but it also runs downward when a woman perspires, accumulating at the jawline. This clogs the pores, and can cause acne breakouts. It is best to avoid makeup altogether, or use hypo-allergenic makeup instead. Remove all makeup before going to bed, and wash your face well before applying makeup.

Women sweat - or perspire - just as men do. When sweat runs downward, it eventually hits the jawline and lingers a bit. This can also cause acne breakouts by clogging the pores. Don't just wipe sweat away - wash it away to ensure that your skin and pores are truly rid of the sweat, and the ill effects that it can have on the skin.

Womens jaw acne is quite common, but can be avoided by avoiding these contributing factors. Keep the hair off the face, keep the hands off the face, and avoid the use of makeup if possible. By making these few small changes, your jaw acne may disappear completely, without the need for further treatment.
