Probably not right those who, having noticed pimples on their faces, begin to smear them with various “miraculous ointments.” Doctors say that our skin is an indicator of health, it “talks” about the problems and ailments of our body.
Sometimes, skin changes are the only visible signs of the disease occurring inside – the skin is sensitive to them. Ancient healers, not having at hand the modern diagnostic equipment, were diagnosed with skin conditions.
If you be careful and read the article to the end, you can not miss the signals that our skin gives us.
What our skin “says”
·Acne. In adolescents, the appearance of a rash is caused by hormonal processes in the body. In adulthood, this is a signal about problems with the liver, intestines, stomach, or pancreas. Changes in the functioning of these organs lead to metabolic disorders, which immediately affects the quality of the skin.
· Keratomas (warts) – the body undergoes age-related changes associated with aging.
· Brown spots or hyperpigmentation – inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs, pregnancy, ovarian dysfunction, liver problems.
· Pronounced edema indicates kidney disease.
Pimples on the sides of the neck and temples – possible kidney ailments.
· Small acne on the forehead – close attention requires the work of the intestines.
· Rashes in the chin area – the endocrine system “jams”.
Inflammation and comedones at the edges of the lower jaw, near the ears – indicate a weakening of the immune system and protective functions of the body, often manifested in tonsillitis.
· Capillary stars and nasal redness are signs of cardiovascular disease.
Edema around the eyelids and the appearance of dark circles under the eyes are clear signs of an allergy.
Redness of the skin on the face – it can be caused by: temperature; stress digestive disorders; poisoning with acetone, alcohol, drugs, high blood pressure.
· Permanent blush on the face – the possibility of disease “lupus erythematosus”, malfunctioning of the mitral heart valve.
· Pale skin around the mouth is a sign of scarlet fever.
· Acne on the cheeks and “wings” of the nose – diseases of the pulmonary system, excessive consumption of sweets.
· Wrinkles on the forehead, frequent skin irritations – too many processed foods are consumed.
· The appearance of a large number of small wrinkles – the skin does not have enough moisture, it requires intensive moisturizing.
Our skin is an indicator of health, so you need to treat it carefully, take care of it, love it. To do this, you need very little – the desire to follow simple rules.
How to protect your skin
· Quit smoking. Rid your skin of a gray shade, pallor, enlarged pores, early wrinkles and sagging – the appearance of all this provokes smoking, poisoning the body from the inside and out.
· Avoid stressful situations – it is not for nothing that they say that diseases are caused by nerves, and the skin is no exception.
· Protect your skin from the sun, wind, cold. These natural phenomena make it dry, stiff, inflamed.
· Use the right amount of fluid. If the skin does not have enough moisture, it peels off, and early wrinkles appear on it. It is advisable to drink clean drinking water.
· Cleanse your skin. Being a powerful protective barrier against various negative factors, the skin also removes toxins to the surface, which accumulate inside the body. To remove them, you need to cleanse the skin with gentle care products.
· Avoid antibiotics. If there is no great need, do not rush to take antibiotics that destroy the microflora and weaken the body’s defense.
· Healthy eating. Eat foods that are good for your skin.
Summary
If you do not forget that the skin is an indicator of health, and when unpleasant “surprises” appear on it, turn to specialists, then many diseases can be “captured” in the early stages of development. Be attentive to trifles, and do not dismiss what your skin “says” to you. Good luck.
