Face Mapping And Your Health

Whether you face is clear or full of pimples, it’s nice to know that your skin has its own way of communicating with you.  The Chinese practice of face mapping or ‘Mien Shiang’ is a way of reading the face and it’s taking over the Western dermatology world. Practitioners of face mapping believe that where your acne appears on your face is connected to another part of your body.

Doctors are charging big bucks to analyze your skin and give you insight into your overall health, but you can save yourself some time and cash.  Use these tips to know what your skin may be trying to tell you.
