Stress

Whether it's occasional or chronic, stress can have a significant impact on the skin. It promotes the production of cortisol, a hormone that can exacerbate certain skin issues such as acne or redness, and even accelerate skin ageing. Moreover, stress is often linked to behaviours that weaken the skin, such as lack of sleep. Learn more here about the impact of stress on the skin and hair.

FAQ about stress

How does stress accelerate skin ageing?

Cortisol, secreted under stress, breaks down collagen, a protein in the dermis that provides skin with its suppleness and firmness. This can lead to a loss of tone and the emergence of wrinkles.

Can stress exacerbate inflammatory skin conditions?

Yes, according to multiple studies, stress can exacerbate acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

Can stress cause dark circles and bags under the eyes?

Yes, indirectly. Stress can disrupt sleep, which can lead to the development of dark circles and bags under the eyes due to fatigue.

Can stress trigger hair loss?

Yes, stress can cause a diffuse hair loss, known as telogen effluvium, where the hair quickly enters the catagen phase (resting phase), then the telogen phase (shedding phase).

How to manage stress for healthier skin?

Practising certain relaxation techniques, such as meditation or yoga, and allowing oneself moments of relaxation helps to reduce the effects of stress on the skin.
