Hello, breakouts in the lower half of your face and specially in chin area could be a sign of hormonal acne. You could use a mild anti acne gel containing Clindamycin at night on the acne and take a Zinc supplement on a daily basis.
Next Steps
It would be worthwhile for you to book a consultation to get it treated as your skin type and medical history would be helpful to guide you further.
