The Effects of Stress on the Skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, which performs many functions. It is very important to take proper care of it. Anxiety and fear can adversely affect the appearance and functioning of the skin. As a result of a chemical reaction to stress, it can become more sensitive and reactive. This is manifested by redness, itching, pimples or the appearance of acne. Stress can increase inflammation, dry out the skin, cause swelling and puffiness around the eyes, and as a result significantly accelerate the natural aging process of the skin. Psychophysiological disorders such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and eczema are skin problems that are exacerbated by emotional stress.<\/p>\n

Blemishes, dark circles under the eyes, fine lines, and wrinkles are just a few of the symptoms of stressed skin. It can affect the skin’s natural protective barrier, cause dryness, dehydration, itching and inflammation. As a result, it can also affect skin tone and accelerate the natural ageing process.<\/p>\n

Although we can see the symptoms of stress on our skin all year round, they are most visible in winter. This is caused by central heating, frost, wind, cold and low temperatures. Also during the Christmas and New Year season, we can notice an increased skin reaction to stress due to fatty foods, sweets, alcohol, as well as anxiety, less sleep and fatigue related to preparing for the holidays.<\/p>\n
