Your skin often reflects your internal health, so by analyzing where you get pimples and “mapping” where acne pops up on your face, you can understand what’s causing your acne and prevent the zits from forming!
Face mapping is a revolutionary approach to skin analysis that helps us understand the causes of spots or breakouts.
Face mapping decodes breakouts in the basic areas of your face.
Pretty awesome, right?
Let’s make this one guidance on how we can effectively treat acne or pimples. You might find them interesting and enlightening. Are you ready?
Acne position: Hairline

Acne position: Cheeks
Upper Cheek
Causes:
- Your upper cheek is linked to your lungs
- Can be caused directly by smoking and passive smoking. The air you are breathing will show in this area of your face, so you are more likely to break out in this area if you are living in a highly polluted area.
- If you sleep on the side of your face, or use your mobile phone on this side, the germs and dirt can be transferred and will clog your pores, causing breakouts.
Lower Cheek
Cause:
Breakouts on your lower cheek can be an indication of poor dental hygiene. If you have any infections in your mouth, especially involving your gums, this will show on the outside too.
What to do:
- Hygiene:
- Change your pillowcase at least once a week, and wipe down your phone with an antibacterial wipe every few days.
- Always keep on top of your dental health, brushing, mouthwash and flossing twice a day and regular checkups at the dentist at least twice a year! Don’t just wait until you have a dental problem to make an appointment.
- Food:
- Foods great for healthier lungs include, kale, sprouts and pumpkin.
- Include fresh vegetables, oatmeal and brown rice in your diet.
- Eat more cooling foods such as gourds, winter melons, and green beans
- Don’t overeat
- Avoid fast food and junk food
- Avoid mango, taro root, wine, and seafood or other foods you may be sensitive to
- Eat less sugar
- Lifestyle:
- Try to spend more time on fresh air every day.
- Try to keep a positive mood
- Don’t let your body overheat
- Try to decompress and relax
- The liver is the strongest from 1-3 AM. This is when you should be sleeping
- The lung is strongest at 7-9 AM. This is the best time for aerobic exercise
- The liver is weakest at 1-5 PM, so schedule difficult work for the morning
- If you have to work in the afternoon, rest your eyes for 5 minutes every hour
Acne position: Chin
Causes:
- Your period. Hormones like testosterone fluctuate throughout your cycle and make your glands produce more oil, which can ultimately clog your pores and result in pimples.
- Your chin is also linked to your small intestine, so a poor diet or food allergies could cause you to break out in this area.
- You might be nervous, sleep very little, drink much coffee or alcohol
What to do:
- Get enough sleep
- Don’t pick your pimples
- Don’t eat before going to bed

So, the next time you get acne breakouts, 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 a proper diagnosis.
Bless and be blessed!
