Stress consequences on the skin and how to protect it?

Stress is known to negatively affect our entire body. Not surprisingly, this often includes the health of our hair, nails, and skin. Stress causes chemical reactions in the body that make the skin more sensitive and reactive. This makes it difficult to treat general skin problems.

When you get stressed, your body produces a set of hormones such as cortisol, which tells all the glands in the skin to start producing more fat. Oily skin is more susceptible to acne and many other skin conditions. If you already have some skin problems like psoriasis, rosacea and eczema, stress can make them worse.

Symptoms of stress on the skin

Stress and anxiety can sometimes cause skin problems that do not have sufficient genetic load to manifest spontaneously clinically, and in the presence of the psychological factors described above, can manifest as other skin diseases, such as seborrheic dermatitis and worsening of acne. These are some of these consequences:

• Lack of luminosity in the skin.
• Dull skin tone.
• Clogging of the pores.
• Skin dehydration, this could produce expression lines
• Redness and annoying itching that are created when you expose the body to strong emotional changes
• Pimples and acne breakouts.

Stress causing hives

These rashes are red spots or bruises that vary greatly in shape and size and can appear anywhere on the body. The area affected by hives may itch and, in some cases, cause a tingling or burning sensation when touched.

One of the most common causes of acute hives is contact with an allergen that enters the body by swallowing, inhaling, injecting (pricking or injecting), or simply by coming into contact with the skin. Emotional stress can also cause hives due to hormonal or chemical changes that occur as a result of stress.

How to protect the skin from stress

Taking care of the skin from daily problems is complicated enough, but taking care of it from stress reactions is a little more difficult, but not impossible. There are some methods that facilitate or improve the appearance of your skin and erase the consequences of it. Here are some of the recommendations:

• For dry skin, it depends on the moisturizer. These creams improve samples of skin barriers that do not contain a mature detergent, hyaluronic acid and no volcanized fats. These fats can restore the basic ingredients of Sebum in our skin.
• For redness and irritation, a serum based on soothing extracts such as hibiscus, poppy and calendula is recommended.
• For acne, it is advisable to penetrate materials such as Phischer or Epiolobio, which contain large amounts of sugars and balance bacteria.
• For more pronounced expression lines, it is advisable to use products based on shea butter, avocado or rice oils that reduce these tensions in your appearance.
