Face Mapping: What Your Skin Says About Your Health

As-Salam-O-Alykum...Glam'Yees...
 Today I would be talking about Face mapping. Face mapping is based on the principle that your skin reflects the internal health, and that how certain parts of your face are connected to other internal areas of body. Having a better understanding of the possible internal causes is a good place to start when trying to tackle any facial skin issue, especially one that is persistent or reoccurring.  Here are 10 areas your face may be breaking out or experiencing an issue, and what they say about your health.
