Esthetician Secret #2 - Face Mapping

Ok, I'm going to let you in a technique that some estheticians use to conduct skin analysis - its called Face Mapping.  Its a technique developed by the International Dermal Institute and is only shared with licensed estheticians as an advanced course.

Face mapping is a technique that allows therapists to throughly analyze the condition of the skin but also may provide insight into underlying health conditions.  Its based upon the principle that the various zones of the face are linked to areas of the body. 

Here are the zones:

zones 1 & 3
Traditionally, this zone is regarded as the "sister" to the bladder and digestive system. If you breakout frequently in this area, it might mean that you need to improve your elimination by drinking more water and eating more "whole" foods.

zone 2
The middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows, is related to the liver. Congestion in this zone can indicate over consumption of alcohol, rich foods, and possibly a food allergy (such as lactose intolerance).

zones 4 & 10
The ears are highly sensitive area related to kidneys. If you notice that your ears are very hot, you might be stressing them out - drink plenty of plain water and cut down on caffeine and alcohol.

zones 5 & 9
The cheeks often give an accurate glimpse into any respiratory distress. Smokers or people suffering from allergies generally experience fine, broken capillaries or congestion in this area.

zones 6 & 8
The eyes are truly a window to the body's health because they're related to the kidneys. Dark circles, while here datary, are made worse by dehydration and poor elimination.

zone 7
A reddened nose can indicate heightened blood pressure, or the early stages of rosacea. Congestion around the upper lip can occur if you use comedogenic lipsticks or liners.

zone 12:
Breakouts or unusual hair growth can indicate hormonal imbalance, possibly caused by extreme stress. Premenstrual breakouts are also very common on the chin.

zones 11 & 13
If you've had extensive dental surgery done, you might notice a breakout in the jaws near years.

zone 14
Don't forget to include your neck in your treatment regimen - its skin is just as fragile as that on your face, so it definitely needs the benefits of moisturization and sun protection.

To receive an accurate face mapping analysis, complete with your own face-map, you must visit a Demalogica salon.

You're so cool! I do not think I've read through anything like this before. So wonderful to find another person with genuine thoughts on this topic. Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This web site is one thing that is required on the web, someone with a bit of originality!

Now that's an esthetician's way of discussing how a face shows the person's feelings. Well, in line with face mapping and how it helps determine underlying health conditions is the fact that the face tells a lot about how a person ages. This is where facelift and other cosmetic surgeries for the face come in.
