The Ultimate Beauty Guide

I know, I know- face mapping? What is that? If you think of your face as a map, and your blemishes as X’s, face mapping is the idea that you can troubleshoot areas that correlate to your internal organs. Make sense? It should. Read through the below 5 basic tips to help comprehend the face mapping concept.

1. Forehead. Breakouts across the forehead are often triggered by stress or sleep deprivation. Make sure to log 7 to 9 hours of beauty rest a night to keep your forehead clear and don’t skip that weekly yoga class or two. The forehead is also linked to digestion so drink less soda and more water.

2. Above the brow. The area above the brow is affected by your immune system. Breakouts here tend to happen right before, after, or during a cold or flu. If you notice a breakout in this zone, be sure to include Emergen-C in your diet for a few days. They have a bunch of great flavors to help get the job done! Or if this doesn’t tickle your fancy, taking some good ol’ Vitamin C will do just the trick.

3. Between brows. Breakouts between the brows can be caused by overindulgence of unhealthy foods or a food allergy. Cutting back on sugar, dairy, rich foods, and alcohol can help clear up skin in this zone. I can always tell if I have been drinking or had fries by looking in the mirror the next day…and now so will all of you ;)

4. Cheeks. Your cheeks are linked to your respiratory system. Smoking is a major contributor to this particular area…that and you will die, so STOP SMOKING. The cheeks are also linked to allergies! Pay attention to all what products you are using, your environment (pollution, pet dander) etc. to help target this region.

5. Sides of chin. The sides of your chin are affected by hormones. Breakouts here occur around that time of the month; mother nature takes over but eating more fruits, veggies and taking your omega-3’s will help for sure.
