Stress affects Skin the same as Mind!

We are all aware of the ill effects stress has on our minds.

 

 

Psychologically, stress can cause anxiety, memory problems, restlessness, grumpiness or anger, or lack of motivation. Stress can affect us physically as well! It can cause chest pains, headaches, fatigue, upset stomach, sleep issues, or a weaker immune system.

Long-term effects of chronic stress lead to severe health ailments. A factor that is not spoken enough about is how stress affects the skin.

 

Can Stress Cause Skin Issues?

Yes, sometimes severe ones too! Stress-related skin conditions are mainly aggravated versions of existing skin issues. Stress can make your skin break out more often. It can also worsen psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Stress and skin rashes have a history too.

 

 

Effects of stress on the skin can be indirect as well. When you are worried about things like personal life, work life, or family issues, you may skimp out on consistent skincare. Using skincare products irregularly or not enough can also worsen your skin’s health.

Worrying about skin adds to the stress! The more you think about how your skin is suffering, the more it may suffer.

 

6 Tips on How to Reduce Stress on Skin

It is essential for your skin’s health that you look after not just your skin but your psychological health as well. Of course, problems won’t magically vanish from your life. Nevertheless, you can tackle them with more ease if you learn how to.

1. Take 10 minutes out of your daily schedule for yourself. These 10 minutes are yours. You can listen to music, look outside your window, paint, read, or do anything that will distract your mind from the pending deadlines.

2. Walk around. We often underestimate the effect fresh air has on us. Go down for a short walk and breathe in as much pollution-free air as you can.

3. Sleep! Every adult requires around 7 hours of sleep (MINIMUM). As simple as it may sound, it is one of the most difficult things to achieve. Try? Try for your mind. Try for your skin.

4. Drink plenty of water and eat a variety of fresh fruits. Never skimp out on a healthy diet.

5. Don’t neglect your skincare routine. Take those 5 minutes of extra effort to ensure your skin is moisturised and receives the treatment it requires.

6. Carefully select which products you use. Not all skincare products used by celebrities or close ones are meant for your skin. Try a couple of brands before settling in with one, though make sure you don’t try a ton of products together which may irritate your skin further.

It is important that you take care of your health overall. Stress can be managed using several ways. Experiment to figure out which way works best for you, and stay consistent with it. Your body, mind, and skin deserve to be healthy 🤍
