Dairy Face

As we all know, most dairy products contain lactose, which can’t always be easily digested. Lactose intolerance is one of the most common food intolerances, as many people lose the enzymes to digest lactose effectively later in life. Although some people have very obvious bodily symptoms of their intolerance, many people’s intolerance to lactose may go unnoticed. However, with the help of face-mapping, symptoms can be revealed. Symptoms of the dairy-face, such as puffy eyelids, under-eye bags and dark circles on your face, are caused by an inflammatory process indicating intolerances or digestive issues of dairy products. Dairy products also contain a large amount of hormones which can disrupt the balance of sex hormones, triggering an overgrowth in skin cells blocking pores and trapping bacteria as a result.

Sugar Face

Symptoms of a high-sugar diet, also known as Sugar Face include blotches and horizontal lines on the forehead, which also indicate digestive issues. This occurs as sugar in the blood can damage proteins, including collagen and elastin, which keep the skin firm and supple, therefore resulting in increased wrinkling on the forehead and sagging under the eyes. Other symptoms of too much sugar include pustular spots over the face, caused by sugar creating an imbalance of bacteria in the gut, and a gaunt look to the face caused by excess sugar affecting fat distribution. A pasty white face is often due to increased levels of insulin which instructs the body to divert energy to more essential tasks, causing blood vessels around the face to constrict, washing out the skin as a result.
