STRESS AND SKIN BLEMISHES: THE IMPORTANCE OF A MOMENT JUST FOR YOU
Have you ever noticed the onset of pimples and blackheads in periods of life when you felt particularly frustrated? If your answer is yes, you should know that it is not a simple coincidence but a real connection between stress and the appearance of skin blemishes.
Let's find out why this happens and which remedies can be successful in improving the situation.
What link exists between stress and skin blemishes?
Stress, unlike what one might imagine, does not represent an annoying dynamic to be addressed only on a psychological level. Stress also has important repercussions on our skin. In fact, stress alters the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands in our skin. This implies greater production of sebum which can in turn lead to the appearance of numerous new impurities.
Skin blemishes, such as pimples and blackheads, which appear following stress, are called "stress acne".
How to recognize stress acne?
Below are some of the main characteristics that will allow you to distinguish stress acne from common "imperfections":
- it presents with pimples and blackheads that are generally smaller than usual
- they can appear on the forehead, chin and cheeks
- they can appear on your face even if you are no longer a teenager, regardless of age
What is the solution to stress acne?
Skin imperfections emerge more easily when, as we have seen, two conditions arise: stress and poor facial cleansing.
So why not try to respond effectively to both of these needs? In other words, the answer is: relaxation and skincare!
Learn to carve out a moment just for yourself, every day. To dedicate yourself to a hobby, or more simply to pamper your skin with delicate and scented cleansers, hydrating and plumping face masks and serums and creams with heavenly scents. Always remember that doing skincare is not just a duty linked to a question of "clean skin". Doing skincare means getting what you deserve, a moment of relaxation in which you can think and focus only on you.
