Dec 06, 2020
Lately, I've been the queen of Queen of Pimple City. The Mayor of Hormonal Acne County. The President of United Pimples of America.😂
You, too? READ THIS.
When you have blemishes, your skin is trying to tell you that there is an imbalance in your body; whether that is in your diet, lifestyle, hormones, genetics or environmental factors.
There is this Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda concept called ↗️SKIN MAPPING↖️ that believes that your face MIRRORS your health.
There are various ZONES of your face that correlate to specific organs in your body and reveal information to us about what is going on! HOW COOL?!
Nowwwwadays, topical skin products are marketed SO WELL to us that they convince us that their product will make our pimple problems go away instantaneously, however, this is just a bandaid to our problems!!!
At this point, ya’ll know that your HORMONE HYPE GIRLS believe that you must trace the problem back to the root of the cause and adjust your lifestyle and diet to find balance again.
Swipe to learn more about SKIN MAPPING & HEAD TO LINK IN OUR BIO! Most importantly, please share this with a cycle sis 👯♀️ in your life who can benefit from this info.
