My friend has the most beautiful face in our college. she recently fell in love with a guy and they are going out these days. from the day they started going out, she is getting pimples on her face and her face is becoming ugly day by day. when i asked her the about that, she said, its natural to get pimples in love. i dont believe it. is it true?? is that because of the hormone imbalance??

I think it's possible that it could get your hormones all in a tizzy and make you break out, but probably not too likely. I know that in the past I have broken out because of a new relationship. I was up too late, my schedule was messed up and I didn't have time for my normal skin care routines so my skin suffered. I guess it's different for everyone!

many factors cause a pimpled face...improper nutrition, oily skin, constipation, cosmetics, late night habits, hormonal imbalance, lack of hygiene etc...but many of us get to observe that pimples pop up when in love...( a kind of romantic relationship)...this is observed usually in any teen as love generates some unknown bio-chemical reactions that trigger hormonal secretion there-by altering the default hormonal balance in the body...after all, brain is the center for all changes in our body!!! day-dreaming, romantic thoughts, deeds even cause these so-called love pimples...;) so guys...it's as simple as that!!!

I do think so. When the hormone is imbalanced our skin are prone to be oily. When our skin is oily we have to wash it more regularly than we usually do. Being in love means we are being busier. We are busy going out on a date and we forget to take care about our personal hygiene. Some of the lovers (sorry to say but it is true) make love but they didn't care to clean up after doing it. Just imagine the situation after making love. We are sweating especially at the face area. If we don't wash it properly, of course pimples will start growing there.

pimples have nothing to do with love. They are related to the hormonal secretion and to an extent the diet that you have. if you eat too many oily foods, yo are more likely to get pimples.

Your discussion reminds me of my school days. I never had a single pimple during my school days and My friends use to ask me how I keep my face like that. At that time I was happy to be without pimples but wondered why only I was not getting it. I never had a guy during my school days. But to my surprised, three days before my wedding I got a pimple!!! Now I get one or two pimples during the period of menopause. Now I feel that you get pimples because of hormonel changes.

I think it is possible because they are caused by stress (when first in a relationship, people typically worry over how well they look), lack of sleep (staying up late either with or talking to them, or just unable to sleep because you're thinking of them), and the whole hormone imbalance, the feeling of being loved gives you adrenaline and can make you sweat more from being nervous... so yes, even though, it's not love itself that is giving someone pimples, the body changes that can happen when in love can definitely be the cause.

its not true... pimples are caused by some hormonal imbalance or if your not getting the right sleep... or maybe caused by some allergies either with the soap she uses...

I dont believe that, I dont got pimple when I'm in love. I got pimple only in my period and that is just because hormon imbalance... If that is true that pimple comes out when you are in love then all people on earth will have a pimple then nobody will shy and feel not confidence because pimple will be a trend..

No I don't think so. The only reason why people get pimples in their faces are because hormonal or the unclean face. I tend to get pimples during my period, I believe that it was because of the hormone. And oh... If I got so stressed I tend to have pimples in my face, it could be because of the hormonal stuffs as well. And if I smoke too much, if I just have too much activity outdoor, I would get pimples too, but it would be easily gone after I wash my face daily. Love and pimples are not relevant. If it is so, then celebrities who never had pimples in their face because of a great facial treatment, never fall in love? Oh I don't think so :)

no i don't think so.. because i was loved by many and i too loved some.. but i never got pimples on my face. at the same time my classmate never loved anyone and he never knew what is love. but he has too many pimples on his face. The reason for coming pimples usually depends upon genetics. next is that person is not bathing or not cleaning his face well. because pimple creates due to oily substance and soap can remove those while face wash. but he never uses soap? pimple can be formed. check whether your friends parents have pimple. if not tell her to bath well.. i think you will be satisfied with my detailed reply

no, i dont believe that at all. maybe because since she started having a boyfriend...she spends more time in getting late in bed. that causes pimples too, ya know
