STRESS AND CUTANEOUS AESTHETICS: THE IMPORTANCE OF A MOMENT JUST FOR YOU
Have you ever noticed the emergence of pimples and blackheads during periods in your life when you felt particularly frustrated? If your answer is yes, you should know that it is not just a coincidence but a real connection between stress and the appearance of skin imperfections.
Let's discover why this happens and which remedies can be effective in improving the situation.
What is the relationship between stress and skin imperfections?
Stress, contrary to what one might imagine, is not just an annoying dynamic to be faced at a psychological level. Stress also has significant repercussions on our skin. In fact, stress alters the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands in our skin. This implies an increased production of sebum, which can in turn lead to the appearance of numerous new impurities.
Skin imperfections, such as pimples and blackheads, that appear as a result of stress are referred to as "stress acne."
How to recognize stress acne?
Below are some of the main characteristics that will help you distinguish stress acne from common "imperfections":.
- it appears with small pimples and blackheads generally smaller than usual
- they can appear on the forehead, chin, and cheeks
- they can peek out on your face even if you are no longer a teenager, without age distinctions
What is the solution to stress acne?
Skin imperfections emerge more easily when, as we have seen, two conditions are present: stress and poor facial cleansing.
"So why not try to effectively respond to both of these needs? In other words, the answer is: relax and skincare!"
Learn to carve out a moment just for you, every day. To dedicate yourself to a hobby, or more simply to pamper your skin with gentle and fragrant cleansers, hydrating and plumping face masks, and serums and creams with heavenly scents. Always remember that skincare is not just a duty related to having "clean skin." Skincare means taking what you deserve, a moment of relaxation where you can think and focus only on yourself.
