So to find out why your spots may be appearing find out below in your chosen zone.

Zones 1 & 3 - Your forehead is known to be linked with the bladder and digestive system. So if you experience regular breakouts here it may be a sign that your body is not receiving enough water. It may also be a good idea to eat more 'whole' foods such as fruit and vegetables.

Zone 2 - Breakouts between your eyebrows and around the lower part of your forehead may be related to alcohol and dairy as part of the liver.

Zones 4, 6, 8 and 10 - The areas between your eyes and ears tend to relate to the Kidneys.  You may discover breakouts here due to dehydration and lack of water.

Zones 11 & 13 - Don't panic. You may be experiencing outbreaks here because of your hormones (particularly in women). There is little you can do to prevent these apart from using your usual skincare products like usual. Eating clean and for filling regular exercise can really help your complexion.
