Hollaaaa Everyone!

You know this once in a month acne here and there really annoys me! but after studying face mapping I was introduced to a whole different world of the root cause of Acne. If you want to heal your acne completely and not only topically then you must read further 🙂

What is face mapping?

Acne Face Map-Face mapping is a chinese way to analyse your skin and find the root cause of your acne. Also known as ‘Mien Shiang’, Chinese practitioners believe that when your skin is acting up; it means something is not right inside you as well. There are point and zones on your face that are related to other organs in our body. Depending on the location of the acne one has to treat internally as well. I personally love the science and the idea behind this, besides it being interesting you can really clear up your skin if you understand this concept well 🙂
