In the previous scrub me secret blogs I covered ways to navigate sensitive skin, acne, rosacea, extreme dryness, and much more. Now I want to focus on a specific area of the face that so many of us seem to have some complications, the cheeks. For a lot of us, the cheek area of our face can get red, sensitive, small bumps, or break out without warning. Fluctuations or problems with the skin on our cheeks are often an indicator that our body is trying to tell us something about our lifestyle, diet or digestive system.

scrub me secret: when I talk about diet-related to problematic skin on the cheeks this doesn’t necessarily mean we should only look at the junk food’ that we eat. we should look for foods that can be causing an allergy or foods that don’t work well with our body specifically.

I’ve created a list of some of the most common skin issues seen in the cheek area to help you better pinpoint the best way to help clear your skin. These are not medical diagnoses and I always suggest going to a doctor for an allergy check or anything serious.

Whats causing cheek redness:

scrub me secret: not sure what broken capillaries look like? they show up as tiny, red, uneven lines at the skin’s surface. these lines are small but visible to the naked eye and can sometimes occur in clusters. broken capillaries are caused by damage due to blood vessel dilation.

Whats causing cheek breakouts:

scrub me secret: even after determining which foods or drinks cause your cheeks to break out, I know it’s not 100% realistic that you can always avoid everything that makes you break out. if you happen to ingest something that causes you to get a pimple a few days later throw a clay or charcoal-based spot treatment on the spot asap.
