Face Mapping: Skin Analysis
Skin Imbalances & Acne Face Map
Chinese Face Mapping is all about renewing your skin from within. The ancient practice goes like this: since our skin is our largest organ, any imbalances in the body show up there. Assessing the skin on the face can provide insight into the internal causes of all kinds of skin imperfections. These include: acne, Rosacea, blemishes, breakouts, dry skin, flaky skin, skin discoloration, skin rashes or skin puffiness. By fixing the underlying causes, the skin on the face will heal. To sum it up: Healthy Body, Healthy Skin. That makes Chinese Skin Mapping a win-win! Here’s more:
What is Chinese Skin Mapping for Skin Imperfections? Where did Face Mapping For Acne Develop?
The ancient discipline of skin mapping has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is thousands of years old. Long before the Western world developed MRIs to see inside the body or blood tests to analyze our health, Asian doctors relied on what they could see and touch to detect and diagnose health problems. Additionally, they believed that any skin imperfections they saw on the face corresponded to imbalances in particular organs of our body. Lastly, their way of healing these imbalances didn’t involve popping a pill from the pharmacy. Rather, they included lifestyle changes, like recommendations on diet, exercise and stress relief.
Here’s what’s your face has to say about what’s going on inside your body:
Chinese Face Mapping: FOREHEAD

Skin changes on the forehead represent a toxic build-up in the liver and gallbladder, likely due to a fatty diet, too many processed foods or excessive alcohol consumption.

Chinese Face Mapping: UNDER THE EYES

Be sure to keep your pillows and sheets clean, keep hands and cell phones away from the face, and minimize exposure to environmental stressors like pollution and tobacco smoke. Additionally, if you experience protracted skin problems on your cheeks, you may want to explore the possibility of a food allergy with your doctor.
