Take care of your mental health to support skin health from "summary" of Skincare by Caroline Hirons

It's important to remember that our skin is not separate from the rest of our body. Our mental health plays a significant role in our skin's health. Stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues can manifest on our skin in various ways. This is why taking care of our mental health is crucial in supporting our skin health. When we are stressed, our body releases cortisol, a hormone that can lead to inflammation in the skin. This inflammation can exacerbate skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, stress can also disrupt our sleep patterns, which can further impact our skin's health. Lack of sleep can result in dull, tired-looking skin and can slow down the skin's natural healing process. Furthermore, our mental health can affect our skincare routine. When we are feeling overwhelmed or anxious, we may neglect our skincare routine or turn to unhealthy habits such as picking at our skin. This can lead to further skin issues and damage. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize our mental health in order to support our skin health. Taking time for self-care activities such as meditation, exercise, or spending time with loved ones can help reduce stress levels and improve our overall well-being. Seeking professional help when needed is also important in managing mental health issues that may be impacting our skin.
