Possible Signs of Stress include:

  • Dry Skin
  • Hives & rashes
  • Breakouts/acne
  • Bags under eyes

The brain-skin axis can translate psychological stress into the skin. The stress hormone, for instance, causes increased oil production. This leads to clogged pores and acne breakouts. Pro-inflammatory cells then respond to the hormones and contribute to skin conditions. Stress even causes changes to the proteins in your skin and reduces elasticity.

The brain-skin axis can be a tricky cycle to beat. Environmental stressors on the skin (like UV light) can send stress signals back to the brain. Psychological stress can also disrupt the skin’s barrier. This aggravates existing skin conditions and causes flare-ups (e.g. acne flare-ups). We know that stress can impact pre-existing conditions like rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Working on handling stress can help the skin.

How to Anti-Stress Your Skin

  • Reduce stress. Take some time out for yourself to relax – read a book or take a bath. Treat yourself and book a SkinBase facial.
  • Adopt consistent healthy habits. Exercise, get plenty of sleep and eat healthy.

A simple approach which includes everything you need to keep skin in its best condition. The minimal steps of the routine will reduce stress. The moisturiser and SPF will protect from environmental stressors on the skin – and reduce your skincare steps.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
