*Stress directly affects your skin by triggering hormonal changes, especially cortisol, which can increase oil production and lead to breakouts.

*Anxiety and emotional strain may worsen conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

*Stress can slow down skin healing, making pimples, cuts, or rashes last longer.

*Emotional tension often leads to poor sleep, which shows up as dark circles, puffiness, and dull skin.

*Stress-induced habits like touching, rubbing, or picking at your face can damage the skin barrier.

*Reduced blood circulation during stress makes skin look pale, tired, or uneven in tone.

*Chronic stress accelerates skin aging by breaking down collagen, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.

*Relaxation techniques, a healthy diet, skincare, and adequate rest can help protect your skin from the visible effects of stres

This is so true… I’ve noticed that when in stress, my skin breaks out no matter what products I use.

I also experienced the same thing. Whenever I am stressed, I have dull skin without a glow.

This is true. This is why excess stress is considered harmful. Even though it is mentally related, too much of it shows physical effects on our body.

This is absolutely true! I have personal experience with my own face. My skin is oily acne prone and when i get stressed my acne suddenly flare up and even if i haven’t ate anything due to some reasons i would notice my skin gets dull.
