We are all different, we live in a world that’s so fast-paced...Technology, busy schedules, and endless demands make it easy to feel disconnected from others, and even ourselves. With all the requirements from our jobs, family, health, and social aspects, we can quickly lose touch with what’s truly important.

Humanity has been through a lot  these past few years. More people than ever are experiencing bouts of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection, stress and anxiety rates rise up dramatically high. Creating high levels of stress. That definitely goes in a play how we treat ourselves as well.

Studies show that both acute and chronic stress can exert negative effects on overall skin wellness, as well as exacerbate a number of skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, acne, premature aging and hair loss. 

As your body’s largest, most visible organ, the skin is constantly dropping clues about your overall health. And one of the most common causes of skin issues is stress. Your stress level could even be making some of your skin conditions worse. Here at Skintastik we believe that regular self care practice can lower your stress levels & help you restore your balance. this is where the real Beauty is.

Stress breakouts and cortisol

It’s estimated that over 9% of the global population struggles with acne. And while it’s most common in teenagers and young adults, adult acne rates are on the rise. However, you don’t need to have clinical acne to suffer from the occasional stress breakout.

For a long time, medical professionals weren’t able to definitively pin down the relationship between stress and acne. But research done in the last decade suggests that when you’re anxious or stressed for prolonged periods, the body releases more cortisol. This can increase oil production and leads to acne. Your hormones and inflammation levels can also contribute – both things that are impacted by stress levels.

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep

We know, we know – you probably hear this one all the time, but there’s a good reason for that. Sleep is a critical component of overall health, and it’s particularly important for your stress levels. According to the American Psychological Association, those who report lower stress levels tend to get more sleep than those reporting higher stress levels. Aim for anywhere between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and make sure to establish a calming, reliable bedtime routine.

Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet

As I mentioned before, stress can increase cortisol production. Too much cortisol can cause inflammation, a big contributor to skin problems. But the good news is that you can help lower your cortisol levels with a healthy diet. Focus more on anti-inflammatory foods rich in vitamin B, magnesium and fatty acids, such as fish, fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats.

Avoid regular consumption of processed foods, especially those high in sugar or salt – unrefined foods are known inflammation instigators. Also, remember to drink plenty of water. Dehydration can cause stress and vice versa. Aim to drink a third of your body weight in ounces each day – so if you weigh 150 pounds, try drinking 50 ounces of water per day.

Get moving in ways that feel good

Regular exercise is one of the best stress busters around. It can lower stress hormone levels, like cortisol and adrenaline, and stimulate your endorphins. Exercise increases energy levels, and it gives you a chance to get out of your head and into your body – in other words, mindfulness.

If you’re not someone who often gets up and moving, remember that it’s okay to start slow. You can begin with something low impact like walking before looking into more organized methods of movement, such as strength training, Yoga or aerobics. 

Please remember while exercising we are speeding up our heartbeat which speeds up our blood flow that simultaneously brings oxygen and nutrients to every single cell of our body flushing out toxins and CO2 and also stimulating Lymphatic system. That is creating a faster pace on capillary diffusion. Healthier cells ~ healthier skin and Healthier You as Well ! 

Create a regular skin care routine

Stress management is important, but so is regular skin care, right? Getting started can be more than a little overwhelming. There are so many products out on the market promising perfect skin and claiming to help with really specific issues, but what actually works?

The truth is that there’s no one answer, and general advice doesn’t account for the fact that everyone’s skin is different.
