How Stress Affects Your Skin.

You could think of your skin as the expression of the processes of your brain.

Rosacea, acne, eczema and psoriasis flare ups are likely connected to an overstressed brain.

Chronic stress — such as the stress of a multi-year pandemic — can wreak a unique kind of havoc on the microbiome and pH balance of your skin.

Because most over-the-counter topical skincare products are not meant for skin issues brought on by stress, they can make skin issues worse.

Restful and plenty of sleep.

Outdoor exercise.

And crying are all great ways to reduce stress, which could in turn do wonders for your skin
