Unlike sweat produced during a workout, stress-induced perspiration appears without warning and can have a strong odour. This signal sent by our body is a remnant of an ancestral survival mechanism. Why does our body choose to perspire in response to psychological pressure? Let us decipher together the interactions between our emotions and our skin.

Stress influences numerous biological mechanisms, including those that regulate the skin’s homeostasis. In response to physical or emotional strain, the body releases cortisol, which can have consequences for the skin and may even give rise to various cutaneous problems. But what precisely is the impact of stress on the skin? Find out in this article.
