What Is Your Acne Telling You? All You Need to Know

September 20, 2017 by Jennifer Scott

Having an acne breakout is surely one of the most unpleasant situations. But did you know this can tell you a lot of things about your body? This is not new information since ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine have been relying on it to treat various illnesses in the body. Let’s have a look at what is your acne telling you and how to interpret it.

What Is Your Acne Telling You and How to Get Rid of It?

1. Forehead

The forehead is one of the most common places where acne appears. If you notice a breakout there, it might mean that you have a poor digestion. The solution here is to drink water as often as you can. Moreover, you should cut down on caffeinated beverages or drinks that have been overly processed, such as soda. Water helps digestion and reduces the overall fat intake.

2. T-Zone

What is your acne telling you when you have pimples on and around the nose? For many years, people have considered that this indicates a problem with your liver. Taking care of your health can help reduce acne and other future breakouts. Cut down on alcohol, greasy and processed food, dairy products and so on. Moreover, check if you don’t have any allergies.

3. The Eyes

The skin found around the eyes has a direct connection to the kidneys. Any disturbance that appears in the area (zits, dark circles, etc.) can be directly caused by a lack of water in your body. Monitor your water intake and increase it.

4. Upper Cheeks

The skin disorders that appear on top of the cheeks link to your lungs. From what it seems, any breakout here may indicate a pollution, either from the air or from smoking. Moreover, the bacteria found on objects that touch your face (cell phone, makeup brushes, your hands, etc.) can worsen the situation.

5. Lower Cheeks

It may sound surprising, but if you have acne on your lower cheeks, you may have a poor dental hygiene. Usually, this appears when you have problems with your gums. If they are inflamed on the inside of your mouth, this may trigger breakouts on the outside. Brush and floss daily and remember to cut down on sugar.

6. Nose

Is your nose swollen? In this case, you may want to check your blood pressure. This type of acne is related to high blood pressure. You may want to change your diet and cut down on sodium. Eat more fruits and vegetables. At the same time, a high blood pressure can indicate other health issues, so it would be better to go see the doctor.

7. Ears

Just like the eyes, the acne breakouts on the ears are connected to kidneys. Check if you’re not dehydrated and increase the daily water intake, while decreasing the sodium one.

Conclusion

Though not all specialists agree on the medical connection between various parts of the body, the advice above helps your body be healthy. Drinking enough water, eating fruits and veggies and avoiding sugar and salt are things anybody should do. Moreover, if your acne persists, make sure you visit the doctor and get a checkup.
