7. Delayed Natural Wound Healing
In the face of chronic stress, your epidermis can become weakened, increasing your risk for environmental pathogens and infections. Additionally, this has a negative impact on your skin’s natural ability to heal scars, acne, and wounds.
In order to repair your skin barrier, dermatologists recommend using products with hyaluronic acid and glycerin. The same remedies you use to prevent sun exposure also work here. Consume foods high in antioxidants to boost both new skin cell regeneration and internal healing.
Besides keeping skin hydrated internally (through water consumption), make sure you use products based on sal (Shorea robusta), flaxseed oil, and zinc. According to recent studies, these ingredients are shown to keep your skin moisturized and help with wound healing.
