Stressing Out about a Break Out

November 21, 2013

With the holidays creeping up on us, the stress of deadlines, holiday parties and family visits starts to build up. The last thing you want on the agenda is dealing with a break out, but with dryness and stress in the air it can be hard to avoid.

Stress can cause skin to be more sensitive and more reactive. It can make psoriasis and rosacea worse, dehydrate your skin and impair skin barrier function, allowing dirt and oil to clog pores. In addition to skin problems, stress is also associated with delayed wound healing, brittle nails, hair loss and excessive perspiration.

To ensure stress doesn’t further irritate your skin, practice stress-reduction techniques. Meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises may all help to reduce stress. Not only will your skin thank you for the relaxation, but your whole body will feel much better when stress is less!

Changing your skincare routine accordingly will also help with current breakouts. Simple adjustments in moisturizers and cleanses can cause a vast improvement in your skin’s clarity. Our board-certified dermatologists are a great resource to put together a stress-fighting skincare regimen.

If you have any questions about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board-certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
