How Stress Affects Your Skin and What You Can Do About It
Stress is something we all deal with, but did you know it can have a significant impact on your skin? Whether it’s a looming deadline or personal challenges, stress affects your body in various ways—including your skin. If you’ve noticed more breakouts, dryness, or signs of aging, stress might be the culprit.
When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, the stress hormone, which can increase oil production. This often leads to clogged pores, causing breakouts or worsening existing acne. Additionally, stress can disrupt your skin’s natural barrier, making it harder for your skin to retain moisture, leaving you with dry, irritated patches. In the long term, ongoing stress can speed up the aging process by breaking down collagen, which is essential for keeping your skin firm and youthful.
Fortunately, there are ways to combat the effects of stress on your skin. Practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques can reduce cortisol levels, helping your body—and your skin—return to balance. Regular exercise, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep can also improve your skin’s condition.
At Kiwi Spa, we offer treatments specifically designed to combat the toll stress takes on your skin. Our Jet Peel Oxygen Infusion is a non-invasive treatment that hydrates, restores, and rejuvenates stressed skin, leaving it looking refreshed and radiant. By deeply infusing the skin with nutrients and oxygen, this treatment can improve elasticity, reduce signs of aging, and promote a healthy glow.
