Black Skin Care - Does Your Face Talk?

Is your face giving you message about your body as a whole?

My friend used to always tell me that my face was talking. But she meant that I couldn't keep what I was thinking about someone's outfit or hair colour or bleached skin colour because my facial expression would show immediately how I felt. Busted!

But there is a science known as reading faces or face mapping. Just as with your feet and hands in reflexology, every point on your face is associated with an organ in your body.

It goes deeper that what you or I might feel about someone's personal choices in wardrobe or hair colour or skin colour. Your face can be an indication of what's going on internally with your body.

Some of us are kicking and screaming our ways into what is considered maturing. The beauty industry refers to it as aging but we don't have to be up in age in order to look older than we are.


Taking a Holistic Approach to Skin Care From The Inside Out

From a holistic approach, your body and what you put into it is a direct result of how your beautiful black skin will look and if you dont't get your 'beauty rest' it will show up on your face as well.

Did you know that the area around your eyes is tied into the health of your kidneys? Wrinkles, dark circles, bags and puffiness can often be the result of the kidney not functioning properly.

Every lines, crease and mole is tied into the organs of your body. Those lines that show up around the side of your mouth and look like parenthesis can be an indication of a colon that needs cleansing.

I know you feel that you black don't crack and that you don't age the way 'other' people on the planet age all because of your melanin. That would be true if you don't eat the way that other people on the planet eat.

It's been said that everything is connected and that if you really want to keep your youthful appearance, then you will have to cleanse your entire body. Finding the 'cause' of what's happening to your skin, hair, nails and body as a whole are not always talked or dealt with. Whatever is going on inside is being reflected on the outside.

Your face, eyes, posture, your hands, and even the way you breathe and speak can often be an indication that something isn't quite right internally. Yes we can inherit a lot of illnesses and consitions but you can also treat and fix them. It's up to you!


Stress and the Skin You're In

Stress can be debilitating. It can change your entire appearance. I remember a time when I was under extreme stress and I needed to take some passport photographs. When I went to take the picture, I didn't believe what the camera was showing me. I had to take the picture several times because in my mind, I was not the person in the photo.

I could see all kind of lines in my forehead and around my mouth and let's not even mention how big the bags were under my eyes. I was a wreck!

This is when I had to make the decision to take charge of what I ate and not let what I ate control me. When stressed, I'll go for a massage. The sugar levels would have my skin looking dull, ashy and gray. Now I eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It might not sound delicious bit it's much healthier.

Does your face talk? You bet it does so why not have it speak about the beauty of your skin
