There’s a lot to be said for what you see in the mirror. That face that you are used to seeing everyday can tell you so much about your health, if only you would just look a little closer and pay attention to the signs it is showing you. Some people can see the symptoms of disease, and others recognize the symptoms of exhaustion and bad diet. Your face has a lot to say, but unless you are paying attention and taking notice, you won’t be able to make those fixes.

Your face can tell you a lot about what’s happening on the inside of your body. There are so many things that you should be looking for when it comes to your face and there are some conditions that clinics like Carolina Facial Plastics can help with, such as youth treatments and chemical peels. Once you know what to look for in terms of your health, you can get the help that you need. So, what should you be looking for and what can those issues indicate?

Health: It’s Written All Over Your Face

Skin Discoloration

There are a lot of life factors that can change the colour and tone of your skin. Smoking, drinking and eating a poor diet shine out of your face in a greasy beacon. Redness across your face is common during cold weather, but a night of heavy drinking can make your whole face ruddy. There’s a quick fix to getting rid of that alcohol flush by taking an Asian glow pill.  Facial redness can also be due to an allergy. If the redness on your face is patchy, then you could be looking at rosacea, which is an environmental response to irritants in the air and is difficult to deal with and cover up. Skin that looks yellow shouldn’t be mocked as similar to The Simpsons, but should be looked at seriously. Jaundice, liver disease, pancreatic diseases and issues with the gallbladder are characterized by yellow skin.

Skin Conditions

Dry skin flakes are annoying to deal with, but they are your skin’s way of asking for more moisture. By exfoliating with a gentle scrub, you can make sure your skin gets the moisture it needs while adding coconut oil afterwards can add the moisture your skin is crying out for. Acne is a common skin condition that starts during puberty because of hormone changes. Acne is an extreme inflammatory response to the pores in your skin being clogged.

There are different zones of the face that can reveal a lot about your health, and acupuncture specialists use these zones to stimulate and heal. Closely watching any changes to your face could save your life. Literally. Watch out for the changes that matter, like the fact rosacea could show an inflammation of the colon, or issues that occur in the heart or lungs. It’s amazing, how your face could show you everything that you need to know about your health. All you need to do is look for the changes to manage them. If you can do that, your face will simply show a glowing level of health.
