Our face reveals our health and our lifestyle, based on traditional Eastern medicine.
We all want to know the signals that our body sends us, in this case through our face, so that we can try to change some harmful habits.
See below what your face reveals about your health.
Face thin and scrawny
You probably overdid it with exercise or diet. When you exercise too much, you prevent your face from getting the amount of oxygen it needs. The cheekbone area is the area most affected.
Swollen face
If you feel that your face is puffy, it means you should exercise more or reduce your alcohol or stress intake. These 3 factors negatively affect the collagen production process, causing the facial skin to become flabby.
Therefore, increase your physical activity and reduce your alcohol intake.
Face with wrinkles
If you like sunbathing, you should know that sun exposure is one of the main causes of wrinkles. As the skin around the eyes is more delicate and sensitive, it can be more easily damaged by the sun.
Apply sunscreen even when it's cloudy.
Face with dry skin
Poor diet is the main reason for dry and sensitive skin. Poor diet results in a lack of vitamins and minerals, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin.
Consume fruits and vegetables in different colours and you will soon see visible results on your skin.
Face with redness of the skin
Excessive coffee consumption can cause red and irritated skin. Also, if you work at night and sleep in the morning, you may be vitamin D deficient because your skin does not get frequent contact with the sun.
Reduce your caffeine intake and try to get out in the sun more.
Face with yellow skin
If you see your skin tone turning yellow, you may have problems with your liver or anaemia. It is important to consult a specialist if you notice such changes in your skin.
Face with pale skin
If your face is paler than usual, it may be a sign of iron deficiency. Try to increase your intake of iron-rich foods such as meat and legumes. Don't forget vitamin C, as it facilitates the absorption of iron by the body.
Face with dark circles
If you suffer from insomnia and have an unhealthy diet, you will find it difficult to get rid of dark circles. Alcohol and smoking will make the situation worse.
You should get about 8 hours of sleep every night and get rid of these bad habits.
Face with acne
A diet rich in fat and sugar may be the cause of acne.
Regardless of the cause, however, you should always cleanse your face and detoxify your body.
Face with laugh lines and wrinkles around the mouth
If you have deep wrinkles around your mouth, you obviously like to laugh a lot. But apart from that, these wrinkles indicate a lack of vitamin B. Chapped lips are usually the result of a lack of vitamin C.
A healthy diet rich in green vegetables, oranges and peppers can positively change the situation around your lips.
