Stress and Your Skin


Image result for stress


Almost everyone is aware that stress is bad, and most of the time it’s inevitable that we have to face stressful situations. It usually causes headaches, difficulty concentrating, and even nausea in some cases. However, it also causes so many problems for your body internally, which can take a serious toll on your skin. That is why self-care should be a top priority.
Skin is our largest organ, so there is a plethora of ways that stress can aggravate it. Stress triggers skin to be extra sensitive and releases cortisol and other hormones that make your body produce more oil. This could also intensify other issues you may already be suffering from.

Inflammation
That’s right, any condition that is associated with inflammation including acne, psoriasis, dermatitis, and so many more can be aggravated when you are stressed. This is due to the production of stress hormones and the way they create pro-inflammatory molecules in your body. This can produce redness, swelling, and rashes on your skin as well.

Aging
Stress making you age faster isn’t a myth. There’s science to back it up. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is an enemy of collagen and it breaks down the connective tissues that keep your skin looking young and supple. On top of that, stress makes many people frown, which can cause permanent wrinkles on your forehead and brow.

Dull and Dry Skin
Epinephrine is produced when you are stressed too. This hormone decreases blood flow, which means that there is a decrease in how much oxygen reaches your skin from the inside. It can also cause more water to leave your body. Both of these combined causes a dull and dry complexion because your skin isn’t getting the nutrients it needs.
While stress is unavoidable, you have options on how you can deal with it. One of the many avenues you can take is investing time in self-care. This could include any of the following:
  • Yoga or meditation
  • Journaling
  • A warm bath: epsom salts and essential oils
  • Lighting candles and reading a good book
  • Get some sleep
  • Exercise
  • Face masks
  • Get your nails done
  • Treat yourself for making through a stressful situation
  • Drink a green drink everyday. Skin loving and nutrient dense. I have a recipe on my blog just type in GGS in the search bar.

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.

High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
