Acne Face Mapping and Solutions

Hello IMBBians,

Acne, is something we all fear of! I have had them in my teenage years and it is really not a good time! Since most of us, have entered in our mid-twenties, our pimples have faded but sometimes there are repetitive acne, irrespective of using any kind of creams or treatment, they do not go! And that is when Acne Face mapping comes into picture!

What is Acne Face mapping?

Acne Face mapping, is a technique used by dermatologists and professionals to determine the root cause of acne, when they realize that it isn’t just a skin issue! The technique is based on traditional Chinese medicinal way of treating ailments using face.

When you should consider Acne Mapping?

If you are having pimples often in a certain part of your face and if you are not on your periods or ovulation you should consider this. Most of the pimples that occur, should vanish within 3 days and just a home remedy should fade them away but if they are reoccurring often, then it is time to reconsider.

Is a professional required?

Acne mapping, is a simple procedure and you can do it yourself but if you still have issues even after a month of trying, then I would recommend visiting a dermatologist!
I have tried few methods and have come up with a detailed solution. It worked for me and I hope it works for you too! So, let’s face map!

Disclaimer:

I do not have severe acne on my face and I had pimples often on my forehead and left cheek. I have tried the above mentioned routine and it has helped me! There are chances that this could also due to other issue so, if you have severe acne, a professional will give you the right and best answer!
I have broken up the face in zones where pimples occur most. If you have used a new face product and you get pimples later it is obvious it is due to the issue. Stop the cream, wait for a week and then analyze the face.

Zone 1: Forehead and between brows:
