a friend of mine told me the causes of breakouts...
cheeks- diet
chin- hormones
forehead- stress
she has amazing flawless skin so I'm assuming this is true, nut she's not a.dermatologist or beauty expert so I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this is true?
i usually have almost perfect skin but this winter I've been breaking out on my cheeks anf i hate it!!!

well, that's what Chinese medicine seems to believe, that when you have blemishes in certain regions of the face you can tell what caused it by the area the blemishes are in.

^^^ yes. It's highly reccomended that you find your 'dosha'. Vata, pitta or kapha. But you can also be a combination of two. Like pitta vata.

Doshas are also important to know in order to have a proper diet.

This is true. I worked in a spa. Its more so all hormones depending on your age. When your older most of your breakouts are because of stress. But from under the nose and down is all due to hormones. In some cases you can get it on your forehead from hormones to. But remember evenryones different. We all have different skin types and are skin reacts in different ways .
