While aches and pains are common signs of illness, one expert has revealed how your face can be a reflection of your inner health too.<\/p>\n

According to Sydney-based skin expert Emma Hobson, who is Education Manager at the International Dermal Institute, your face can act like a map of what is happening with your health.<\/p>\n

She shared with Body+Soul\u00a0what pimples you need to pay attention to.<\/p>\n

FOREHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are often told that eating well and staying hydrated helps with skin care but you may not know that dehydration and a bad diet might play out on your forehead.<\/p>\n

‘This area is believed to be linked to the stomach and bladder so pimples here can indicate an unhappy gut,’ Emma explained.<\/p>\n

‘That could be from a poor diet, stress or food intolerances – or even from not drinking enough water.’<\/p>\n

CHIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

As many teenagers may know the chin is the main hormonal breakout zone.<\/p>\n

These breakouts can hit during major hormonal moments such as when you’re a teenager, during your period and possibly during changes in your 20s and 30s.<\/p>\n

‘The chin is also linked to the large intestine, so food allergies and a poor diet might also be a factor,’ said Emma.<\/p>\n

‘Adding more fibre and water to your diet can help.’<\/p>\n

CHEEKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emma stated that break outs on the cheeks are often linked to irritation in your lungs.<\/p>\n

‘It’s common to see more of this in springtime, when people are affected by the pollen in the air.<\/p>\n

‘Pollution can also upset your lungs and then wreak havoc on your skin, as can household cleaners.’<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BETWEEN THE BROWS<\/strong><\/p>\n

She went on to say that the area between your brows is called the ‘wine and dine’ area.<\/p>\n

‘Blemishes here can indicate issues with the liver, and could be a result of too many glasses of wine or eating late at night, particularly rich foods.<\/p>\n

‘Lactose intolerance could also be to blame.’<\/p>

To help clear this area it is best to avoid alcohol and rich foods but if that doesn’t help it could be time to assess your reaction to dairy.<\/p>\n

EARS & TEMPLES & UNDER EYES<\/strong><\/p>\n

These days we seem to be getting busier and busier, with a work and life balance being more difficult to maintain.<\/p>\n

If you are getting pimples in these three areas then it is most likely due to stress and a lack of sleep.<\/p>\n

To combat this ensure you are having at least seven hours of sleep a night and increase your water intake to eight glasses a day.<\/p>\n

NECK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The neck isn’t the most common pimple area and getting one here could link to illness.<\/p>\n

Those with\u00a0an under-active thyroid have lower levels of progesterone which\u00a0causes breakouts as progesterone is key in fighting acne.<\/p>\n

If you’re concerned with the fact that you have pimples on your neck you may need to go to your doctor. Dailymail<\/strong><\/p>\n
