What Is Your Acne Telling You? by pheyikemi: 1:44pm On Jul 06, 2014
From the picture below, acne can be as a result of different body parts being affected, what's yours saying?

1 & 2: Digestive System — Eat less
processed or junk food, reduce the amount of
fat in your diet, step up water intake and opt for
cooling things like cucumbers.
3: Liver — Cut out the alcohol, greasy food
and dairy. This is the zone where food allergies
also show up first, so take a look at your
ingredients. Besides all this, do 30 minutes of
light exercise every day and get adequate sleep
so your liver can rest.
4 & 5: Kidneys — Anything around the eyes
(including dark circles) point to dehydration.
Drink up!
6: Heart — Check your blood pressure (mine
was slightly high) and Vitamin B levels.
Decrease the intake of spicy or pungent food,
cut down on meat and get more fresh air.
Besides this, look into ways to lower
cholesterol, like replacing “bad fats” with “good
fats” such as Omegas 3 and 6 found in nuts,
avocados, fish and flax seed. Also, since this
area is chock-full of dilated pores, check that
your makeup is not past its expiry date or is
skin-clogging.
7 & 8: Kidneys — Again, drink up! And cut
down on aerated drinks, coffee and alcohol as
these will cause further dehydration.
Zone 9 & 10: Respiratory system — Do you
smoke? Have allergies? This is your problem
area for both. If neither of these is the issue,
don’t let your body overheat, eat more cooling
foods, cut down on sugar and get more fresh
air. Also keep the body more alkaline by
avoiding foods that make the body acidic (meat,
dairy, alcohol, caffeine, sugar) and adding more
alkalizing foods like green veggies and
wheatgrass juice. Another thing that most of
forget – dirty cell phones and pillow cases are
two of the top acne culprits and this area is
what they affect the most!
Zone 11 & 12: Hormones — This is the
signature zone for stress and hormonal
changes. And while both are sometimes
unavoidable, you can decrease their effect by
getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water,
eating leafy veggies and keeping skin
scrupulously clean. Another interesting point:
breakouts in this area indicate when you are
ovulating (and on which side).
Zone 13: Stomach — Step up the fibre intake,
reduce the toxin overload and drink herbal teas
to help with digestion.
14: Illness — Zits here can be a sign that your
body is fighting bacteria to avoid illness. Give it
a break, take a yoga class, take a nap, take time
to breathe deeply, drink plenty of water and
know that everything always works out!
So the next time you break out or notice dark
under-eye circles, look to your face map: your
skin is probably trying to communicate on
behalf of the internal organs. However, do
remember that, as with all medical issues, it is
always best to see your doctor or dermotologist
for a proper prognosis. This is just a general
guide to head you off in the right investigative
direction – just becuase you break out between
the brows doesn’t always mean you have a bad
liver!
