What does your Acne Mean ?

1 & 2: Digestive System— Eat less processed or junk food, reduce the amount of fat in your diet, step up water intake and opt for cooling things like cucumbers and EAT MORE FRUITS .

3: Liver — Cut out the alcohol, greasy food and dairy. This is the zone where food allergies also show up first, so take a look at your ingredients. Besides all this, do 30 minutes of light exercise every day and get adequate sleep so your liver can rest. I also find that drinking purely squeezed lemon juice helps a LOT !

4, 5 , 7 and 8: Kidney— Anything around the eyes (including dark circles) point to dehydration. Drink up!

6: Heart — Check your blood pressure. Decrease the intake of spicy or pungent food, cut down on meat and get more fresh air. Besides this, look into ways to lower cholesterol, like replacing “bad fats” with “good fats” such as Omegas 3 and 6 found in nuts, avocados, fish and flax seed. Also, since this area is chock-full of dilated pores, check that your makeup is not past its expiry date or is skin-clogging.

9 & 10: Respiratory system — Quite smoking if you smoke and don’t let your body overheat. Having watermelon and water every hour helps. Also keep the body more alkaline by avoiding foods that make the body acidic (meat, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, sugar) and adding more alkalizing foods like green veggies and wheatgrass juice. 

11 & 12: Hormones — This is the signature zone for stress and hormonal changes. And while both are sometimes unavoidable, you can decrease their effect by getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water, eating leafy veggies and keeping skin scrupulously clean. Another interesting point: breakouts in this area indicate when you are ovulating (and on which side).

13: Stomach — Step up the fibre intake, reduce the toxin overload and drink herbal teas to help with digestion. have fruits daily and if possible, in every meal.

14: Illness — Zits here can be a sign that your body is fighting bacteria to avoid illness. Give it a break, take a yoga class, take a nap, take time to breathe deeply, drink plenty of water and relax yourselves. Sometimes too much stress could be the problem.
