Hi guys, hope your week is going well.

As usual I was on Instagram some time last week and I stumbled on this awesome information from Natural belle and I decided to share with y'all..

Acne which is also known as pimples, zits, etc is a skin disease that involves the sebaceous (oil) glands at the base of our hair follicles. Acne occurs when there is a stimulation of the sebaceous glands at puberty or due to other hormonal changes and stress.

Its amazing to know that the position of that pimple on your face has a direct link to the health condition of the organs in your body.

Face Mapping is a way of reading our breakouts or flare ups on our skin, not only does this aid in cutting down on acne but also indicates other internal problems we may have.

1. Small Intestines [centre forehead]

Acne here can indicate problems with your small intestines, mainly due to over consumption, cut out or reduce alcohol, rich and greasy foods. Spots here can also indicate a food allergy or be a sign of lactose intolerance. Try cutting out certain foods one by one and take note of the effects this has on your face, you may have an allergy to something you have been consuming for quite some time cutting it out may result in benefits that go more than skin deep.

2. Liver [T-zone]

If you have been indulging in processed fast foods it may start to show in this area, also over doing it with alcohol can really make this area breakout. Again this area can indicate to a food allergy and also tell you if you need more exercise, try doing some light exercise everyday.

3. Bladder [temple]

Spots here can indicate dehydration, drinking more water will help your skin greater regardless of where your spots tend to pop up.

4. Heart [brow, nose, top lip]

Spots in your heart areas can be linked to high blood pressure, get it checked out and also decrease foods that could cause high cholesterol.

5. Kidneys [under eye area]

This is another area that indicates dehydration, this area can also in some people indicate reproductive issues, so fertility and menstrual issues can be a cause of spots here. Spots here can also be linked to bone health this includes your teeth.

6. Stomach [cheeks]

This is a tricky one because its such a problem area for so many people, however its usually down to hygiene issues, such as dirty pillow cases and dirty screens on your mobile phone. However if you can count this out you may want to check out your digestive system if you suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) this may manifest in spots on your cheeks.

7. Lungs [lower cheeks]

You may break out here if you have asthma or a low immune system, other skin conditions can be related to the lungs. Upping your intake of fibre can often help.

8. Small Intestines [laughter lines]

This is closely linked to the lung area so can be due to respiratory issues or your immune system.

9. Hormones [chin]

This is the area that most women will suffer with acne, the area is linked to our hormones and menstral cycle.

10. Back and shoulder acne or [bacne]

This is a very common area for acne, and is usually due to hygiene or allergies. You may have acne on your back due to your shampoo or conditioner or just simply not scrubbing it enough [get a loofa and scrub, scrub, scrub!]. If you can count that out then perhaps look at your diet fried food, that can cause acne here also. If you have acne on your shoulders it can indicate stress.

I'm sure you would agree with me that it's more than getting rid of the pimple or acne on our back and faces, we need to also focus and find solutions to the underlying causes so that we can live an overall healthy life. 

Stay Healthy. Stay HAPPY. 

Have a blast this weekend.
