Question: Why do I always get acne on my chin? Cheeks? Forehead?

Answer:

It has long been believed that breakouts on certain areas of your face are triggered by certain things internally. For example, acne along the chin and jaw line signify hormonal imbalances. Acne on the forehead usually means toxin build up of some sort.
