Such conditions do not pass without a trace for the body, and in particular for the skin.Gray complexion, dryness and dehydration, rashes or red spots, acne, super sensitivity are signs of stressed skin.
How does the skin react to stress?
Science has proven that when our body is under stress, the protective and barrier functions of the skin are violated. The skin becomes more receptive. Due to the production of glucocorticoid hormones, the process of lipid production slows down. The lipid layer becomes thinner, the production of pigments is disrupted.
The skin reacts to stress in different ways.
1. Skin color. The consequences of accumulated fatigue, troubles in the family and at work, can be reflected on the face with a gray skin tone. This is due to the fact that under the influence of stress, catecholamine hormones are released into the blood. The capillaries narrow, nutrients come in a limited amount, as a result, the skin turns pale, dark circles appear under the eyes.
2. Edema. They appear on the face in the form of swelling of adipose tissue under the skin due to a violation of the outflow of fluid. It does not appear immediately. If it continues for a long time, it also entails insomnia. As a result, swelling increases even more and does not disappear for a long time.
3. Elasticity. Violation of microcirculation leads to a loss of skin tone, elasticity is lost, flabbiness appears. Due to a decrease in the tone of the facial muscles, nasolabial folds appear, creases above the bridge of the nose.
4. Acne. The stress hormone cortisol activates the sebaceous glands, and as a result, leads to the appearance of acne.
5. Hypersensitivity. It increases due to experiences. As a result of a violation of the water-lipid balance, the skin tightens, becomes covered with red spots, and may begin to itch. Manifestations pass when experiences go.
