TOEnergy, anxiety and stress, menstruation and hormonal changes, sun exposure: these are the causes of sensitive and stressed skin that can be seen on the face. Extremely sensitive organ, the epidermis is affected by all the changes in life and cause a profound skin imbalance with the appearance of imperfections and problems that must be taken care of.
Sensitive and stressed skin, the last to talk about it is Hailey Bieber
The last to talk about stressed skin on social networks was Hailey Bieber. On social media, the top has in fact confessed to suffering from skin imbalances that cause skin rashes and redness.
But what are the causes of these problems? Mainly the stress. Skin and brain are particularly connected, they have acommon embryonic origin which is the ectoderm. For this reason, when you live a particularly demanding moment, you can also notice it on the epidermis.
In these periods, in fact, usually increases the production of cortisolthe so-called stress hormone that affects the epidermal immune system causing inflammation e weakening the epidermal barrier and the microbiome, with the result of collapsing the defenses. And sensitivity, redness and rashes begin to appear.
The causes of epidermal stress
Urticaria, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and rosacea are all epidermal manifestations caused by stress, demonstrating how closely skin and brain are closely connected. Not surprisingly, after a stressful week in the office or a tense period with your partner, these psychosomatic inflammatory reactions manifest.
Same cause behind particularly “stubborn” pimples, those that remain on the skin until the period of high stress passes and therefore the cortisol level is not lowered. In this case, in fact, we have excessive sebum production caused precisely by hormonal imbalances.
But there are other causes as well. First of all also aexaggerated sun exposure which leads to a profound imbalance of the deep dermis. UV rays, in fact, damage DNA, starting an inflammatory reaction, or sunburn, as well as the appearance of sunspots.
Take care of stressed skin
There is a remedy for all this. Stressed skin needs highly specific care which allow to rebalance the dermis in depth
For rebalance the face you can start with a rebalancing detoxification of the sebum. Yes to an exfoliation of sebum with salicylic or mandelic acid, the most delicate. Both performing, they purify the pores. But beware of their use: their excessive use causes the opposite problem, namely acute epidermal dryness.
It is also important to apply tonics which, in addition to preparing the skin for the next treatment, begin to moisturize it; better choose those from energizing properties so as to enhance the mitochondria which favor cellular activity.
If there are skin rashes
As for the skin rashesafter a dermatological consultation, you can relieve the skin with masks based on moisturizing, soothing and antioxidant active ingredients so as to compensate for the action of free radicals, but also serums and creams based on moisturizing and hyaluronic acid, as well as aloe vera.
Some studies have shown that massaging the face helps not only to better apply the products but above all to improve skin symptoms. Finally, in the evening, it is better to use oily textures, richer, which need massage to be absorbed and rich in relaxing and rebalancing essential oils.
