Cheeks
The left and right cheeks are very important in Chinese medicine.

Left cheek
If you have acne around your cheeks, it means your phone is dirty, clean your phone screen or use headphones or earbuds to prevent the accumulation of oil and bacteria on your face when answering calls.
Get a salicylic acid cleanser if you are breaking out a lot around your left cheek. Also, eat a lot of melon and cucumber.
Right cheek
The right cheek reacts to sugar more severely than other areas of the face, so reduce your intake of junk food, sugar and alcohol.

Brows
The area between your brows is associated with your liver and gallbladder according to Chinese medicine.
Breakouts between your brows could be a sign of excessive drinking, smoking, or intake of fatty foods.
Reduce your intake of junk food and fat if you're experiencing breakouts above your brows.
