Face Map For Acne

Every one has acne/pimples, including me. When I was in my early teen years, I had very cystic acne and it would take forever to get rid of it. Skin care products play a big part in your skin care routine but it is more of what you put in your body.

Ever wondered what your acne means?

Please note that: Some of the information were given by my dermatologist when I had very cystic acne. Also note that just because you're breaking out at a certain area does not necessarily mean that there's something wrong with organs, it could be hormonal as well. 

Some of the remedies may or may not apply to everyone. 

Like usual; Eat healthy &Sleep early! 

So without further or do; 

Let's find out how you can minimize the risk of having acne! 

(Picture source: Personal- picture of me) 

The picture above I only drew in my brows and eyeliner. NO concealer or any face makeup. 

1) Forehead- Commonly people would get acne or little red bumps on their forehead. It could be linked to digestive problems that connects with small intestine issue. It could be irregular sleeping pattern or too much sugary food too! Sometimes it could as well be the shampoo that you're using or when you have fringe/bangs. 

Remedies: 

• Go to bed early &wake up earlier. 
• Cut out sugary beverages and carbonated drinks and make sure that you're getting some light exercise in the morning before your breakfast. 
• Eliminate refined sugar and keep healthy fresh food in your fridge. Remember to clip up your hair to avoid it from touching your face whenever you're at home. 

2) Temples & Between the Brows- When your diet consist too much of fat and too much processed food. 

Remedies: 

• Reducing the amount of processed food, junk food, fast food and unhealthy fats. Eat more healthy fats like Avocado or salmon. 

3) Left Cheek- It can be because of overeating and sometimes it's hard for the nutrition to be absorb. Even so, it could be hormonal acne or be linked to stomach/liver problems. Dirty pillow and dirty phone cases can contribute to your cheek if you're constantly sleeping on your side. 

Remedies: 

• Making sure you don't overeat! When you're about 70% full, you should definitely stop (Drink water if you still feel hungry). 
• The liver is strongest at 1-3AM and this is the time you should be sleeping  whereas at 1-5PM it is the weakest therefore you should be relaxing and leaving the heavy work for morning. 
• Eat more cooling fruits and food like watermelon, winter melon, green beans. 
• Remember to clean your pillow cases once a week and clean your cell phones. 

4) Right Cheek- It can be linked to stress, stomach problems or even having too much sugar in your diet. It can sometimes be linked to lung problems. 

Remedies: 

• The lungs are strongest at 7-9AM so time to do some exercises! *smiles*
• Have more fresh air. 
• Eat less sugar, junk food and seafood (if you're allergic)

5) Chin- Chin acne are mostly commonly due to hormonal imbalance. It can also be related to gynecological issues and constipation issues. 

Remedies: 

• Don't eat right before you're about to sleep; Allow your body to have at least 2-3 hours of digestion before you head off to dreamland. 
• Sleeping early and waking up early. 
• Drink spearmint tea would help with hormonal issues. 
• Try to relax more and not getting too stressed out: If you're feeling stressed then do some gentle exercise or listen to music (Whatever keeps you happy!) 

I hope this post was useful to you and it helped you unpack some of the underlying issues about your acne! 

Again, you don't have to follow everything that is written here because some may or may not work for different individual. It's better to eat healthy and piling on products onto your skin.
