👩🏫 Studies have shown that stress can impact overall skin wellness, and may also cause skin conditions (particularly chronic inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea) to flare up.
🧠 While there is still a lot to learn about the nuances of the mind-skin connection, it is accepted that a bidirectional pathway between the brain and the skin exists.
➡️ This post discusses how stress affects skin, as well as simple tips to manage stress (we cannot fully eliminate if from our lives, unfortunately). Healthy lifestyle habits, including a well-balanced diet and exercise, avoidance of smoking and moderate consumption of alcohol may also help to regulate stress hormones in the body, which should in turn have positive effects for skin and hair.
🥰 Taking care of the skin has a huge role in overall health because it performs - among many other functions - the all-important role of being a barrier to the outside world.
