Stress & Your Skin

March 5, 2015

Stress affects more than just your work and social life. Your body and your skin can give you telltale signs of stress. So what are these signs?

Skin can appear more aged. Research has linked work-related stress to the accelerated aging of your skin. The cells involved in the regeneration of skin become damaged, hindering skin turnover. Dead skin cells begin to buildup and look dry and dull. Stressed facial expressions such as furrowed brows and frowning cause wrinkles and lines which, combined with decreased cell turnover, become more and more noticeable.

If you’re prone to unhealthy eating during stressful times and not getting adequate sleep, then you’re robbing your skin of its vibrancy. Your body’s energy is maxed out with breaking down the fast food and trying to function on little sleep. The cortisol from the unhealthy eating remains in your skin and breaks down your skin’s barrier. So you’re harming your skin on the inside and the outside.

Stress can also cause brittle nails, increased acne and even hair loss. Your body needs a break every now and then, so push the pause button and relax! Go get a manicure, prepare a bubble bath or book a full-body massage. It’s okay to treat yourself every now and then. Your skin will thank you.
