The stress we encounter daily has a massive impact on our skin.
Short bursts of stress are okay but long term stress we experience from work, relationships, doom scrolling, anxiety, poor diet, environment and lack of sleep all play a big role in our health.
Your goal should be to reduce stress as much as possible and add things into your life that you enjoy OR remove things that do not bring you joy. I understand removing some stressful things may seem impossible to remove or can take a long time.
What you can do to reduce stress:
- Go to bed before 10:30
- Do not use your phone in bed
- Do not look at your phone for at least 30 minutes after waking up
- Let your eyes see sunlight before your phone
- Eat a nutrient dense diet with lots of protein and fibre
- Start doing something everyday that makes you happy - painting, reading, walking, playing sport, pottery, bath, listening or playing music, yoga, Pilates.
