Face Mapping - What's your skin telling you!


No, this is not some crazy new makeup trend, like contouring or strobing! 


This is all about what your own body is telling you, from the inside :)



A great tool which I learned back in my old beauty therapy days when I was working in salons and day-spas, doing facials for those lucky lucky clients, and as I did them, I was trying to understand what their skin was telling me as a practitioner! 

The technique comes from came from traditional Chinese medicine and is a form of skin analysis which helps us to understand the root causes of spots and breakouts.

Underlying the theory is the idea that the skin is the body’s largest organ and if something is affecting that organ, it could well mean that something is going on, inside you! 


Put simply, think of your face as a map, and any blemishes on it as X’s on that landscape. Therefore, spots in different zones of your face would correspond to different issues or problems which may exist inside you!



We all know that life factors such as poor food choices, high stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep may cause breakouts, pimples, rashes, or change of skin color and tone. 

So, following this through, with this “map” as your guide, not only will you address the blemishes on your face and make the unsightly pimples disappear, you will also be treating treat the underlying health or lifestyle problem too! An all over win!!!


And all of this will lead to better skin and a generally healthier (and longer) life!! 



Pretty awesome, right??
