What Your Acne is Telling You About Your Health - Face Mapping
Breakouts really friggin blow!
Not to mention, we get them at the worst possible times.
While hormones can absolutely cause breakouts, they aren't the only thing that cause them.
It turns out that some acne can be attributed to underlying internal health problems, which
believe it or not, aren't impossible to uncover and alleviate!
Face mapping is an alternative medicine practice that looks at the location of acne on your
face, and points out possible health issues that may be associated with your acne.
Now, don’t assume you have a serious health problem just because you get a pimple on your
chin now and then.
However, if your acne frequently appears in the same place, or you have chronic acne and
no solution, you might want to consider what your acne is telling you about your health!
To get you started, here are the most common places for acne to appear, and what your pimples
mean:
Number 1 - Acne On Forehead
Pimples on your forehead could be an indication that your digestion is poor!
Along with the dreaded forehead pimples, you're also likely to experience bloating, gas, diarrhea
or constipation.
Reduce your intake of caffeinated and overly processed drinks like soda.
And opt for water as often as possible.
Water helps flush out toxins and therefore aids in digestion, along with reducing overall
fat intake.
Number 2 - Acne Between Eyebrows
Redness, flakiness, excess oil, or pimples between your eyebrows can indicate a stressed
liver.
Especially if you’ve been overindulging in fatty, greasy foods that are harder to
digest, or drinking alcohol, which requires the liver to work harder to filter it out.
You must focus on eating more fruits and vegetables, and cutting out alcohol and all the junk from
your diet.
Also exercise regularly to improve metabolism.
Drink plenty of water!
Number 3 - Acne Around The Eyes
Skin around the eyes is supposedly linked to your kidneys.
Therefore, anything from acne to dark circles in that area, often indicates that the kidneys
are under pressure from simply experiencing mild dehydration.
So drink up!
Number 4 - Acne On Upper Cheeks
Skin disorders on the top of your cheeks are linked to the lungs, which could be due to
toxins from air pollution or smoking.
If you have allergies or asthma, it may be worth working on an auto-immune protocol as
your immune system is in overdrive and you may need to reduce inflammation in your body.
Additionally, bacteria on objects that are constantly in contact with your face, such
as your cell phone, or makeup brushes, can also contribute to the problem.
Number 5 - Acne On Lower Cheeks
Zits on your lower cheeks could be due to bad dental hygiene.
It is usually attributed to problems with the gums, especially when they are inflamed
on the inside, which could possibly be causing breakouts on the outside.
Cutting down on sugary food and drinks in addition to brushing and flossing daily, should
take care of this problem.
Number 6 - Acne On The Nose
If your nose is swollen, then your acne might have to do with high blood pressure.
Changing up your diet by reducing sodium intake, and avoiding energy drinks, as well as eating
more fruits and vegetables will lower your blood pressure.
It may be worth visiting a doctor, because high blood pressure can be a sign of other
health problems.
Number 7 - Acne On The Ears
Like the eyes, the ears are also linked to the kidneys, so if you are breaking out on
your ears, it may be signaling dehydration.
Be sure that you are drinking enough water and reducing your sodium intake!
Number 8 - Acne On The Chin Or Jawline
Pimples on your chin or jawline might be traced back to a hormonal imbalance, which can be
caused by stress, or menstruation if you’re a woman.
The first steps in fixing hormonal acne, is to manage your blood sugar by removing refined
carbohydrates and increasing your clean protein intake, and also managing your stress.
Number 9 - Acne Around The Corners Of The Mouth
If you suffer from breakouts around your mouth area, once again, your diet could be to blame.
The area around your mouth is associated with your digestive organs, like your intestines
and liver.
Try cutting back on spicy foods and fried foods, while eating more fiber, fruits, and
veggies.
Number 10 - Acne Above The Eyebrows
This area is directly correlated to your immune system.
Breakouts will pop up here when you’re sick or about to be sick.
If you notice a breakout in this zone, slow down for a couple of days, drink plenty of
water and eat immune boosting foods such as citrus fruits and ginger.
So much of our external health depends on our internal health, and skin is no exception.
So the next time you have a huge breakout that just won’t disappear, try turning to
this acne face map!
That being said, it's important to remember not to self-diagnose if your acne gets worse,
and instead, make a trip to see your doctor, or dermatologist.
Of course, following a healthy lifestyle never hurts, and will likely leave you with softer,
clearer skin!
