1. Inflammation and Extra-Irritated Skin
Eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, hives, and psoriasis are often signs of inflammation. Several studies indicate that when your brain is in overdrive, it can actually affect your skin’s protective abilities.
To put it another way, stress makes it more difficult for your skin to regulate and maintain balance. You must have experienced an extra breakout during a stressful period or a sleepless week.
Inflammation can also cause acne. But keep in mind that some skin conditions, like rosacea, can be mistaken for acne. It’s important to know and recognize the difference before treating the conditions, including whether the inflammation is a result of allergies, stress, or a harmful product.
Eliminating the cause is the first step in treating stress-induced inflammation. Determining the precise cause of your stress may be difficult or impossible, but there are still some ways to tame the fires with exercise, food, or therapy.
