When our face is looking good, we often feel super confident and ready to take on the world. But what about those times it isn’t looking on top of its game? Maybe the skin is sagging slightly, or you notice dark circles around your eyes? If you notice a slight change in your face, there may be an underlying health issue. Want to understand what your face is trying to tell you about your health? Read on to find out about some common conditions!
Forehead
Your forehead can show various symptoms. If you develop zits, pimples, or deep wrinkles on your forehead, this could be a sign that your liver is under slight stress. To try and help it, drink more water and eat plenty of leafy green vegetables. However, the lines and wrinkles might just be a sign of age. If the lines are age-related, you can have your skin tightened by visiting a local cosmetic surgery, such as Belcara Health.
Mouth
The mouth is the entrance to the digestive track, so issues around your mouth could be signs that not all is well with your digestive system. Many holistic therapists agree that dry skin around the mouth or on the chin is a symptom of digestion problems. Sores on your lips and around your mouth can be a sign of a Vitamin B deficiency. However, dry skin and sores can be caused by caused by dry weather. But if they last for more than a week, there is probably a more serious reason relating to your digestion. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
Eyes
Dark circles around your eyes are a sign of tiredness. However, if they are still there even though you feel well-rested, they could be a sign that you have a food intolerance. If you have dark circles along with other symptoms of a food intolerance, try cutting dairy and gluten out of your diet. If this doesn’t seem to help, speak to a dietitian. Can you see white spots in your eyes? This is a sign that your lymph nodes could be congested. The best way to deal with this is to remove lactose from your diet.
The Jawline
Have you recently suffered from a lot of acne around your jawline? This may be a sign that your estrogen levels have dipped. This usually occurs as we get older. Increase the amount of Vitamin A in your diet to combat this. This vitamin is present in mushrooms, apricots, and mangos. Another reason for acne along the jawline is a bad diet. If you have been eating a lot of fat and sugar recently, you might notice an increase in pimples in this area. You’ll soon notice better skin once you start eating better. Eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetable and drinking water can help to flush out all the toxins in your skin.
So next time you have a skin problem, take a closer look. It could be a sign of something more than just dry skin!
