Saving Stressed Skin

Stress is the leading factor of disease within the body and the skin is no different. As our
largest organ, it’s paramount we learn how to keep damage in check during anxiety-ridden times,
especially if your face is the place that’s showing signs of stress. One of the example is Wrinkles,
Stress may be impacting you on a hormonal level. Cortisol, the hormone released in response to
stress, is the natural enemy of collagen, breaking down the connective tissue that keeps your
complexion taut and firm. But beyond damaging collagen, anxiety can also cause us to hold certain
facial expressions, such as furrowing the brow which can eventually cause permanent wrinkling on
the forehead and around the eyes.

The solution to overcome this is, Become mindful of when you are holding facial expressions
in moments of stress. Breathe in deeply, and as you exhale, visualize your face being relaxed and
smooth. Meditation is also helpful, even if you have just a few moments. Download a meditation
app onto your mobile device so you have no excuse to take a quick beauty bliss moment. Lack of
hydration is typically a wrinkle culprit, so make sure you consume at least 8 glasses of pure water
each day to prevent dry skin and to eliminate toxins. For a quick hydration fix, use a serum that
contains hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that naturally occurs in your body and holds 1,000 times its
weight in water. It even pulls moisture from the air into the skin, instantly hydrating and leaving you
with a gorgeous glow.
