Do you know that feeling when you seem tohealthy, but your appearance says otherwise? A tired look, yellowish skin - everything disappears under skillfully applied makeup, and you run to work again, without thinking about the fact that your facial skin is literally screaming at you about some impending (or already existing) disease. Unfortunately, this is exactly what 85% of modern women do. They simply do not have enough time in the daily rush to listen to their body. The "reward" is weeks in a hospital bed and mountains of medications to boot. By the way, bags under the eyes and acne can give a lot of information about the state of our health. Of course, facial skin cannot notify about absolutely all diseases, but it can tell about many ailments. Everyone knows that it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it later, so you should not ignore sudden (even minimal) changes in the skin. After all, in order to determine whether you have a tendency to a particular disease, you do not need to be an experienced doctor. Sometimes it is enough to just look at yourself in the mirror. Important: this information in no way replaces a visit to the doctor. This is only a reason to think about your own health and the health of your loved ones, balance your diet and switch to a healthy lifestyle.
Forehead
Thick skin with fairly dense wrinkles,that look "puffy" at the top of the forehead indicates weakened kidney function. Brownish spots on the skin near the hair roots indicate liver problems. Two vertical wrinkles that form above the base of the nose are usually a sign that a person's diet is oversaturated with proteins and animal fats, which overload the liver.
Eyebrows
Rare eyebrows with brittle, short, oftenhair loss is a signal that the thyroid gland needs to be checked, in this case its hypofunction is likely. If you have very narrow eyebrows by nature, this may be caused by a lack of estrogen - a female hormone. In the opposite situation, when a woman's eyebrows can be compared to Brezhnev's eyebrows, that is, they are just as bushy and wide, this may indicate an excess of testosterone - a male hormone.
Eyes
Upper eyelid "Sunken" eyes or sharpThe fold between the fixed and movable parts of the upper eyelid is evidence of decreased overall tone and lack of energy. "Swollen" eyelids indicate that the heart is unable to cope with the load, it does not beat strongly enough, as a result, the kidneys are not supplied with the required amount of blood. A sagging, thin fold that runs diagonally from the middle to the corner of the eye indicates a weakening of the heart. Lipomas and brown spots in this area of the face can be a sign of liver disease. Lower eyelid The area under the eyes "speaks" about the condition of the kidneys and bladder. If small swellings form under the eyelids, it is very likely that you have problems with the bladder. If this swelling is more than one and a half centimeters, this means that kidney function is significantly weakened. Redness near the inner corners of the eyes and up to the base of the nose give reason to assume inflammation of the internal organs or stagnation in blood circulation. The lower eyelid openly indicates the possible presence of gynecological diseases.
Cheeks
The upper part of the cheeks will help to recognize the developmentdiseases associated with carbohydrate metabolism. Frequent companions of all such problems are wrinkles and gray, lifeless, toneless skin of the face. If similar problems are combined with enlarged pores under the cheekbones, this indicates problems with protein metabolism or even protein intolerance.
Nose
Now look at your nose in the mirror.A wrinkle running diagonally across the base of the nose may indicate a decreased thyroid function. If the thyroid gland is enlarged, you should see an endocrinologist. By looking at the bridge of the nose, you can determine the type of a person's nervous system. People with a narrow bridge of the nose easily lose their temper and "explode." People with a wide bridge of the nose are much more balanced and calm. If small blood vessels are visible on the bridge of the nose, this may indicate a tendency to high blood pressure. The tip of the nose is a "thread" to the stomach. If the skin on the tip of the nose turns white after eating, it means that the body does not have enough gastric juice. If the tip of the nose turns red, this may indicate gastritis. The wings of the nose are "indicators" of the state of the respiratory system. Redness of the wings of the nose on a fairly pale face may indicate inflammation of the bronchi. Thickening of the wings may be a sign of asthma.
Nasolabial folds
Pronounced right nasolabial fold,which goes down to the lips and bends around the corner of the mouth, encourages you to think about the presence of liver diseases. A nasolabial fold of a similar shape, but on the left side, is a reason to think about the pancreas. This may indicate problems with carbohydrate metabolism, which affects blood sugar levels. Straight nasolabial folds, going down from the nose to the mouth, without the formation of a classic trapezoid, indicate weakened cardiac activity. This can be either atherosclerosis or cardiovascular insufficiency. If the nasolabial folds have a rounded shape, then you need to pay attention to the work of the intestines - it may have weakened peristalsis. Folds ending at the level of the chin indicate problems with digestion and too frequent stress. Of course, almost everyone experiences a nervous shock at least once, but only for some, such a lifestyle is reflected not only on the skin of the face, but also in the medical record. So we advise you to be more careful, look in the mirror more often at the nasolabial folds and, if possible, lead a calmer lifestyle.
Upper lip
A thin white stripe above the upper lip(as if you had a "whisker" from milk) may indicate poor absorption of food. And vertical wrinkles may indicate problems with water balance.
Underlip
If you are familiar with the feeling of heaviness in the stomachAfter eating, pay attention to your lower lip. Small wrinkles may indicate that the intestines are too lazy to digest food. Pale areas indicate digestive problems, dark red spots indicate polyps. Well-defined deep wrinkles indicate a violation of the water balance. Wrinkles on the right side under the lower lip, which the mirror showed you, indicate a violation of the blood supply to the liver. Thickening or redness in the center under the lower lip is a sign to pay attention to the blood sugar level.
Zone around the mouth
Yellowish skin of the face in these areas is typicalproblems with fat metabolism, a purple skin color indicates a lack of oxygen, a brownish tint indicates that food has been sitting for a long time and is starting to “ferment” in the intestines, a grayish color indicates that nutrients are poorly absorbed.
Chin
The chin area is associated with the genitals.Enlarged pores, acne and pimples are a sign of irregular menstrual cycles and possible problems in the hormonal and gynecological sphere. Wrinkles that rise vertically from the chin to the cheeks indicate that you need to pay attention to the duodenum. If there is a clearly visible wrinkle going to the center of the chin diagonally from the lower lip, then you may have a genetic predisposition to problems with veins. A deep, clearly defined dimple on the chin indicates the need to monitor the spine. There is another disease that is typical for 90% of the entire population of our country. Our people are very fond of self-medication. Got a headache? Took aspirin. Didn't help? There is always a stronger remedy in the medicine cabinet. And so our people swallow pills, potions and powders, without thinking about the fact that a completely harmless headache may indicate not a migraine, but another, more serious disease. And while you are trying to drown out the pain (symptom), the disease progresses. No, no, we are not saying that you should run to the doctor at the slightest headache. However, if your head has been hurting for a week, your skin has turned an unhealthy yellowish color and the usual remedies do not help, there is reason to think. Moreover, you will not get a second chance to live your life differently, without mistakes. And the body does not forgive mistakes. And a completely harmless disease can turn into a chronic one and cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, do not forget about an annual examination. Finally, we would like to advise you to look in the mirror not to see signs of an impending disease, but to fix your makeup or just smile at yourself. Be optimistic, believe in miracles, and all illnesses will be gone for a minute. However, visit the doctor sometimes. But only to make sure that your body works like a clock. We recommend reading:
