Can stress lead to inflamed skin and premature ageing?

Whether we are stressed in our minds or stress is triggered by environmental factors, stress is linked to health problems such as asthma and lung disease and even anxiety disorders.

On the skin, stress causes both visible and invisible damage:

✔ Inflammation

✔ Dehydration

✔ Increased skin temperature

✔ Reduced cell renewal

✔ Degraded skin barrier

✔ Increased sebum production

One of the hormones the skin produces during stress is CORTISOL, which has a short and long-lasting effect on the skin. Chronic stress causes permanently elevated cortisol levels, which is suspected to increase the risk of heart disease, depression and weakened immune system. Long-term elevated levels of cortisol also lead to inflammation, an inflammatory condition that slowly breaks down the body and skin.

Is there a way to lower cortisol levels in the skin? Yes, there is! With SKIN REGIMEN
