Acne is generally due to increasing cortisol levels, due to hormonal imbalance or moments of great stress. However, according to Dr. Zeichner, if breakouts concentrate on the cheeks, there’s probably a bacterial inflammation. The main cause is related to dirty objects (phones or pillowcases), or even your hands. Moreover, cream cosmetics can favor the onset of breakouts, because their consistency could clog pores, and trap dirt and smog.
