According to Chinese medicine andayurveda the face is a sort of mirror and through its problems and characteristics it helps to understand other parts of the body. Here then is one Face Map - also suggested by Byrdie and Vogue - on the subject of acne and pimples which will help to understand the reasons for a skin rash and some possible solutions.

 

PIMPLES ON THE NOSE 

The nose is connected to the heart and lungs. MIt is better to avoid spicy foods, red meat, salt and increase the portions of fruits, vegetables and nuts. If despite the new diet, the pimples and blackheads in this area do not subside it might be a good idea to check your vitamin B levels and blood pressure.

 

PIMPLES ON THE CHIN 

Modern acupuncture creates a connection between the chin and hormonal levels. But there is also another factor: lo stress. So don't underestimate the situation and try to rest (as well as contact a professional which is always wise).

 

PIMPLES BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS 

Are you drinking and smoking too much in this period? Not to mention junk food and snacks... The solution is obviously to reduce excesses in favor of more physical exercise and rest. 

 

PIMPLES ON THE FOREHEAD 

Chinese medicine says it: this area has a strong link with gallbladder and liver. Ctry to eat less refined foods (flours but also sugars) and junk food. If you can also decrease the amount of fat ingested.

 

Pimples on the left cheek 

Eastern tradition recommends focusing on those considered to be "cold" foods (melon, cucumber, watermelon). The "left-handed" part is in fact considered connected with the liver, body considered to be the weakest from 13 to 17. Try to avoid, if you can, work or workouts that are too intense in this period of time.

 

Pimples on the right cheek 

This area of the face is often associated with lungs. Then dedicate yourself to physical exercise, preferably in the morning. Not only that: the right cheek is connected with sugar levels, for which it acts as a litmus test for sweets, wine, and junk food.

 

PIMPLES AROUND THE MOUTH 

Ahere too the power supply comes into play. The link is in fact with digestion, intestine and liver. Better then to limit fried and eat more fibre, fruits and vegetables.

 

Always and in any case consider contacting an expert: acne is a pathology and as such it must be treated (and we will never stop repeating it to you, for the sake of truth and also because we love you).
