A patch of dry, flaky skin isn't just your body's way of telling you to slather on extra rich moisturizer. In fact, these can be the symptoms of some major body problems. Always remember that your face is the reflection of your body. In terms of health, according to the Chinese belief, each part of the face reflects a vital organ of a person’s body. When your body's energy is flowing in perfect harmony, these areas are clear and healthy. When illness is present, the energy cannot flow smoothly and will present itself in the features of the face.

A swollen and red chin indicates there is structural weakness or stuck energy in the abdomen.

A thin or swollen top lip could indicate indigestion, bloating or reflux. The lower lip protruding may indicate bowels loose or constipation. And if the lip is red, cracked or the corners are filled with spots, it could indicate stomach acidity caused by bad food choices.

Yellow coloring surrounding the mouth may indicate a weak digestive system.

Frequent break out in the forehead area may indicate the need to flush out toxins by drinking more water and eating more natural, unprocessed foods.

Weak eyesight may denote blood deficiency in the liver, leading to variety of eye disorders. If the white of the eyes are full of thick yellow tissue, white phlegm or thick blood vessels, the liver may be full of toxins. If the eye area is dark brown, your liver might be showing signs of stress, perhaps due to mental stress or anger, rich foods or an overabundance of alcohol.

One-sided headaches, jaw tension and two vertical lines between the eyebrows denote that your metabolism, joints and cholesterol level may be affected.

Lines and spots on the forehead may indicate the consumption of too many oily foods or dairy, which may lead to liver congestion. It could also point to a food allergy (such as lactose intolerance).

Having dry, itchy skin and spots on the skin could mean unclean blood, relating to unhealthy liver.

Unusually visible, bold and shallow veins may mean that the blood traveling back to the heart may be blocked.

When the half moon-shaped area under the eyes is puffy and blue, there might be an imbalance of fluid in the body caused by stress, dehydration or consuming rich foods.

If your eyes are redder then the skin on your face or the inner corner of your eyes are sunken and dark blue, the adrenal glands may be overworked.

Redness, puffiness and breakouts around the nostrils and lower cheek area might indicate that you've consumed too many dairy products, which produce mucus and congestion in the lungs.
