Acne isn’t just about skin care—it’s often connected to deeper issues in your body. Understanding where you’re breaking out can provide clues to the root cause.
🌿 Forehead & Temples: Digestive Issues
Root Cause: Poor digestion, food sensitivities (like dairy or gluten), dehydration, or overconsumption of processed foods.
Tip:
• Stay hydrated—aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily.
• Avoid common triggers like dairy, gluten, and sugary or processed foods.
• Add probiotics (like Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium strains) and digestive enzymes to support gut health.
• Consider herbal teas
🌿 Between the Eyebrows: Liver Overload
Root Cause: A stressed liver from toxins, processed foods, alcohol, or environmental pollutants.
Tip:
• Eat liver-friendly foods like leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale), and beets.
• Reduce alcohol, fried foods, and artificial sweeteners.
• Support detox with supplements
🌿 Nose: Heart, Blood Pressure & Gut Health
Root Cause: Poor circulation, imbalanced blood pressure, or gut dysbiosis from inflammatory foods or low fiber intake.
Tip:
• Incorporate heart-healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and omega-3s (from fish or flaxseed oil).
• Avoid high-sugar and high-sodium foods.
• Add fiber-rich foods like oats, chia seeds, and vegetables to nourish gut health.
🌿 Cheeks: Lungs, Respiratory Issues & Hormonal Imbalance
Root Cause: Pollution, smoking, respiratory issues, or hormonal changes.
Tip:
• Avoid smoking and reduce exposure to air pollution where possible.
• Cleanse skin thoroughly at the end of the day to remove dirt and toxins.
• Balance hormones with adaptogenic herbs or supplements such as magnesium or evening primrose oil.
🌿 Jawline & Chin: Hormonal Imbalance
Root Cause: Fluctuating hormones (e.g., excess testosterone), often linked to menstrual cycles, PCOS, or stress.
Tip:
• Reduce sugar and refined carbs to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels.
• Add zinc, DIM (diindolylmethane), or vitex (chasteberry) to help balance hormones.
• Prioritize stress management techniques like meditation, stretching, or deep breathing.
🌿 Around the Mouth: Digestive & Hormonal Changes
Root Cause: Digestive issues like food intolerances, high stress, or changes in hormone levels.
Tip:
• Avoid trigger foods like dairy, gluten, or fried foods.
• Support digestion with fermented foods (like kimchi or sauerkraut) or apple cider vinegar before meals.
• Take magnesium or methylated B-complex vitamins to regulate stress and hormone production.
🌿 Back: Hormonal Imbalance & Hygiene
Root Cause: Hormonal imbalances, sweating, and improper cleansing can clog pores on the back.
Tip:
• Shower immediately after sweating and use gentle, non-comedogenic body cleansers.
• Wear breathable fabrics to reduce irritation.
• Consider omega-3 supplements and evening primrose oil to help reduce inflammation from within.
