How Stress Affects Skin
Everyone’s experienced it: stress from work deadlines, school projects, uncertainty in the world, late nights with the girlfriends, ferrying the kids around…it’s a part of everyday life, right? But have you ever wondered how all that pressure and anxiety affects your skin?
Several published studies in the area of psychodermatology - the scientific study of how emotions affect skin - have shown that stress can actually compromise the skin’s ability to function properly, to heal wounds and to fight disease. Coupled with the fact that more than 4 out of 10 adults experience adverse health effects from stress, it’s no wonder our skin is suffering.
