Acne : Break Out
If you haven’t heard of face mapping, you’re going to want to take note! The location of your breakouts isn’t random, it can actually tell you a lot about your health and what’s going on inside your body. When something’s off internally, it always surfaces externally and for those with problem skin, it emerges in the form of pimples.
The thing is, the location of acne means something. And knowing what it means can help you get your health back on track and banish your blemishes for good. When I first started getting pimples, I had no idea about face mapping, but now I look to it every time I get a breakout to figure out what’s wrong in my body. Whether it’s stress, poor eating habits, polluted air, or too much caffeine, face mapping helps me figure out what to cut out and what to add to my diet and lifestyle.
There are many culprits of acne, so it’s important to get to the root of the cause. Cleansing your body from the inside out and eating clean is one of the best ways to clear up your skin.
Breakouts on Temples/Eye Brows
There are quite a few culprits of pimples in your temple/eye brow area. The two main ones are processed foods and alcohol, which go hand in hand for a night out with the girls. If you succumbed to fast food after a night out drinking, don’t be surprised if you breakout around your eyebrows or temples the next day. Pimples in this area can also signal issues with your circulation and gall bladder. Exercise regularly to get your circulation on track, and stay away from fatty, processed foods that could be doing harm to your gall bladder.
Breakouts on Nose .
Breakouts on your nose are indicative of poor diet, constipation, bloating and poor blood circulation. Up your intake of good fats like avocados, as well as fruits, greens and nuts, and cut out spicy foods, meat and salt. Eating a healthy diet and having a consistent workout regime will help your system run smoothly and help your blood circulation as well.
Breakouts on Left Cheek
If you have acne on both your cheeks, it’s not necessarily coming from the same place internally. Although breakouts on your cheeks can come from polluted air and allergies, the left and right cheek signal different internal health issues.
If you notice breakouts on your left cheek, this is connected to your stomach and overeating. Try to eat smaller portions rather than massive portions we’re used to getting at restaurants. Your left cheek is also connected to your liver so cut down on alcohol and fatty foods.
Breakouts on Right Cheek
Your right cheek, on the other hand, is linked to your lungs, and can be indicative of high stress levels and high sugar intake. To strengthen your lungs, try breathing and aerobic exercises in the morning and take a yoga class morning or night. If you eat a lot of sugary foods, cut back on junk food and sugar as well as drinks like wine, soda, and juice. Do what you can to reduce stress, whether that means working less, exercising more or taking time to yourself to decompress.
Breakouts on Mouth Area
Your mouth area is associated with your digestive organs such as your intestines and liver. Breakouts in this area can be due to constipation and eating spicy or fried foods. Add more fiber, fruits and vegetables into your diet in order to get into healthier eating habits and eliminate your acne.
Breakouts on Chin
Acne on your chin is linked to hormonal issues, stress, and kidney imbalance. We’re also constantly touching and resting our chin on our hands, so it can surface from the oils from your hands as well. If you’re noticing breakouts on your chin, get your hormone levels checked and pay extra attention to your skin care regime in the days leading up to your period. Breakouts on Ears Have you ever noticed pimples along your ears? Ear breakouts are associated with your kidneys. Try upping your water intake (you should be drinking 8 glasses a day) and cutting down on caffeine and salt. You can also add more legumes to your diet as they promote healthy kidneys.

FACE FACTS Crystal Clear 100ml
One of the six differences between Annique and other skin care manufacturers is that we encourage only cleansing once a day, at night. Cleansing disturbs the delicate pH balance of the skin, which can take up to 18 hours or more to return to normal.
Cleansing only once a day ensures that the skin’s pH is restored, so the skin can function optimally. Crystal Clear has a fresh dual therapeutic fragrance which helps control oiliness and acne-forming bacteria.
Crystal Clear Cleanser is mild and effective but tough on acne. The inclusion of fruit acids help to gently exfoliate the problem skin without “over” cleansing it. Oily skin should not be cleansed too harshly or too often because that will strip the skin of important natural oil and stimulate the skin to produce more oil that will in turn clog the pores.

OptiFlora 30 Capsules
Did you know? 80% of your immune system is located in your digestive tract!
Our modern eating habits lead to a deficiency in good bacteria in the gut. Over time this can lead to all kinds of health challenges. Taking probiotics should be the cornerstone of your daily supplementation. It will ensure that the maximum nutrition is extracted from food and supplements and allows the digestive system to heal itself. OptiFlora contains probiotic species, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, Rooibos extract and fructo-oligosaccharides (prebiotic), for the good bacteria in the formula to feed off, promoting rapid multiplication of healthy flora and enzymes. Supplementing these natural bacteria is often necessary when there is an imbalance in the digestive system’s natural bacteria and is especially important after you have taken antibiotics because it helps to offset some of the negative effects that a course of antibiotics has.
