Stress - influence on skin quality and complexion

Stress - its influence on the skin is much greater than you might initially think. You may have already felt the effect of stress on your skin, as it often manifests itself in dryness, acne and eczema.

How are skin symptoms caused by stress?

Physiological processes and stress

Under stress, the body produces more cortisol, a hormone that can promote inflammation and excessive sebum production. This can lead to acne and other skin blemishes. Stress can also weaken the skin barrier, making the skin more susceptible to irritation and dryness. It is therefore particularly important in everyday life to protect your skin with a high-quality moisturizer and gentle active ingredients such as aloe vera to support your skin. With the ideal products for your skin type, you can counteract stress, its impact on your skin and a poor complexion.

How do you recognize stress-related skin problems?
