Environmental and Emotional Stress Can Take a Toll on Your Skin
By Valentina Bellocchio
Anxiety and stress not only wrecks havoc on your mind but also on your complexion. Are you stressed out at the office or in your home life? Is your skin red, prone to acne pimples, or affected by disorders like dry skin and rosacea? Chances are there is a direct correlation between the mental angst you feel at work or at home and the health of your skin.
There is not one single person on the planet who likes stress. While it can be beneficial in making you finish that last second presentation or studying for your psychology final, it can be disastrous when you are up all night anguishing over credit cards or the loss of a loved one.
What anxiety does is directly alter the hormonal balances in your body. When these vital balances are modified, your skin shows it. Lasting stress changes the body's biochemistry and is responsible for triggering an increase in sebum production, an opening of the sebaceous glands, rosacea problems, and oily skin.
The bad news doesn't end there. Emotional anxiety isn't the only form of stress that can corrupt your skin. Environmental pollution and poor air quality can lead to skin conditions. We all know mills put tons of pollutants into the air just like cars do. The problem is smaller elements like animal dander, adhesives, mold, wind, and high levels of humidity can affect skin. What are we to do with apparently everything on the planet producing stress? How can we avert stress, or at least fight it, and have beautiful skin?
What can you do to insure a stress-free existence and therefore healthy skin? Taking the time to lessen your daily stress can pay off in healthier skin. A couple hints can help people have a clean complexion. Try to:
* Relax. This is obviously easier said then done but it is important to take a deep breath every couple minutes and center yourself.
* Eat right. Eating a greasy cheeseburger won't give you a zit the next morning but your overall diet does affect your skin. Enjoying lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water will keep skin strong.
* Avoid smoking cigarettes and reduce the consumption of alcohol. Smoking and drinking alcohol reduces white blood cells and therefore immunity. In turn, the skin becomes more vulnerable to mental and physiological stressors.
* Hit the gym. The benefits of daily exercise and stress reduction are huge. Exercise also improves the health of skin by cleaning pores and improving oxygen levels in skin cells.
Let's be candid here, stress and skin care is not a new concept but yet reducing anxiety is never as painless as people make it seem. When stress, both mental and environmental, is relentless, your body's hormone levels can skyrocket, adversely altering the skin and how it functions.
Since stressed skin is damaged skin, what it needs most is to be soothed and renewed to regain its natural appearance and radiance.
There is a new all natural skin care adaptogen that will effectively treat blemishes and afflictions aroused by stress while helping alleviate and soothe stressed skin while simultaneously addressing skin regeneration. The biological ingredient works together with other all natural ingredients to:
* Remove damaged cells within the skin by the workings of biological enzymes.
* Revitalize the capacity of the skin to remain hydrated by triggering the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the components that give skin its capacity to maintain moisture.
* Destroy free radicals using its potent antioxidants.
* Stop the activity of manacing, pathogenic skin bacteria.
* Control dermal fibroblast development and excess collagen.
* Manage blood vessel development and oxygenation within the capillaries in the skin contributing to its appropriate nourishment.
* Stimulate the use of the amino acids that the biological enzymes free and activates fibroblast stem cells which favor the proliferation of new strong connective tissues and all the structural elements of healthy skin
* Prompt the construction of the extracellular binding between cells, increasing skin strength, cutting down on weakness.
