Stress damages the Skin

Relax, breathe deeply, do not stress, because this not only can cause that your immune system weakens and attract diseases, but also can accelerate aging and damage your skin.

A perfect face, free of wrinkles and acne can be achieved not only eating healthy, drinking water and using natural masks. You can get it by taking a few minutes to breathe deeply, inhaling, holding three seconds and exhale.

If you did not know, stress disrupts the cells causing havoc on the skin, as the dermatologist and psychiatrist Amy Wechsler from New York says "the mood swings can make the skin look five years older than the actual age".

Stress and Cortisol

When we get stressed, anxiety increases the hormone cortisol, this causes an inflammation that breaks down collagen fibers and immediately, there is redness, and even the appearance of acne.

In turn, if we don’t find a way to vent all this negative energy, all the cells of our bodies deteriorate and get old after the release of free radicals.

In other cases, stress can also cause the famous seborrheic dermatitis, characterized by the presence of pink or red scales on the sides of the nose, eyebrows and below them, when it’s chronic it appears on the cheeks and scalp.

Skin infections or dry skin can appear without any apparent cause, you can even notice that the folds of your elbows and knees are hurt, although you apply a moisturizer.
