8. Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Whether it’s a frown or a furrow of the brow, psychological stress inevitably finds its way to make emotions visible. So what should you do?
Perhaps the first thing that comes to your mind is getting Botox. If you feel like this is going to help you, go for it! before undergoing any minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, make sure you do your research.
Or you can go for the alternative that’s free and safer than Botox: face yoga. While it doesn’t come with the same results as Botox, face yoga can help you relax your facial muscles and boost circulation. We won’t lie: face yoga won’t make wrinkles disappear, but it can help you activate the lymphatic system, which can reduce the appearance of stress damage on your face.
Stop the Stress Cycle
Stress doesn’t manifest the same in every individual, but it affects everyone in some way. Instead of comparing your stress levels with others to determine whether your stress is “all that awful”, choose to take care of yourself when you need it.
While we can control the ways stress affects us all, we actually have some choice over how we choose to react to it. One of the small ways you can reduce stress is to remember to care for yourself and for your skin.
