Ever notice that you’re breaking out in certain areas of your face more often than others? Us too, so we wanted to get to the bottom of it by “facial mapping”, studying the location of blemishes on the face and why they’re occurring. Danae Markland, aesthetician and Vice President of Business Development for PCA SKIN, says that the ancient Chinese tradition has long correlated the placement of these breakouts with the different organ systems throughout the body. While historic in its age, facial mapping is more common than you think. New York dermatologist Julie Russak, MD, says that her practice employs facial mapping before every skin treatment to better assess every patient’s need beforehand. Translation: your breakouts may have a deeper meaning. Here, the most common places breakouts occur, what they mean, and how to keep them from happening.
