Have you ever woken up with a basket exactly in the same place every time? On your forehead, chin or maybe even your cheeks?
Well, is not a mere coincidence! In traditional Chinese medicine, pimples on the face are an indication of imbalances in the body.
That is why we are talking today about „face map”, a fascinating guide to help you understand what your skin tells you and how you can act effectively.
What are zits and why do they appear when they shouldn't?
Let's be honest: nobody is happy when a basket appears, especially if you have an important outing, meeting or event coming up. But what exactly are baskets?
Well, pimples occur when skin pores clog with sebum (the skin's natural oil), dead skin cells and bacteria. These blockages lead to inflammation and painful whiteheads, blackheads or red, painful pimples.
In a nutshell: The baskets are manifestations of acne, a common, age-neutral dermatologic condition. They can occur in teenagers, but also in adults - women and men.
Did you know that? Around 9 out of 10 teenagers experiencing acne, and over 501TPTP3T among adult women say they've had pimples in the last year.
Types of baskets
-
Comedoane (white dots and black dots)
-
Papules (red, inflamed pimples)
-
Pustule (with pus)
-
Cysts (deep, painful)
-
Nodules (severe form of acne)
What is a face map and why should you take it seriously?
You may have heard the term „face map” on the internet or in dermatology offices, but have you wondered what it really means? Well, it's not a myth - is a fascinating way to understand what your skin tells you about your internal health.
In a nutshell, face map associates each area of the face with a specific organ or system in the body. So, when you get a pimple in the same place over and over again, your body may be trying to alert you to an internal imbalance.
What's important to remember: Face mapping is not a substitute for a medical consultation, but it can be a useful guide to identify the causes of pimples and act faster and more effectively.
Face map: What does your face tell you when pimples appear?
Yes, you read that right! Pimples don't happen by chance. Their position on your face can give valuable clues about what's going on inside your body.
This concept is known as „face map” and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to correlate internal diseases with skin problems.
