We live in stressful times. You can feel it, but worst of all, you can see it when you look in the mirror. Fortunately, you can turn stress.back the clock and reverse early onset aging, especially when they’re related to.
What Stress Does to Your Skin
Have you ever wondered how much stress actually affects the skin’s aging process? Maybe you’ve even pondered whether or not there’s a biological connection between stress and aging.
Over the years, studies have managed to draw a clear connection between the two. The result is somewhat of a vicious cycle. When you’re stressed, your skin suffers. In turn, this stresses you out even more. Add aging to the mix and you’re left with a sagging, wrinkled face dotted with dark spots and circles staring back at you in the mirror.
It sounds like a slippery slope, on the positive side, identifying the signs of stress on your skin and addressing them can help erase signs of aging.
Common Signs Your Skin is Aging from Stress
Besides aging skin, stress also affects certain characteristics. Here are some of the most common telltale signs of stressed-out skin:
- Bags under your eyes – usually when you’re stressed, your quality of sleep suffers. When you lose sleep, fluid starts to build up under your eyes. That’s why you look tired and puffy. Good quality sleep can help you correct this, but ongoing stress can lead to permanent puffy, dark under eyes.
- Dark circles – you’ve probably experienced the “panda” look at some point. When the body is stressed, the capillaries under the eyes break, leaving those dark, depressing circles. As the stress eases, your body has a chance to heal. But long-term stress can result in permanent dark circles.
- Acne – while stress doesn’t cause acne directly, it can aggravate sensitive skin. Studies show that people tend to flare-up during trying times. That’s because stress causes your skin to produce more oils via stress hormones. These oils clog your hair follicles, leading to breakouts.
- Wrinkles – when stress and worry leave you fixated on problems, you’ll find your brow constantly furrowed, your mouth pursed, and your entire face scrunched up in concern. Left too long, these stress lines can become a permanent feature.
- The good news is that, just like there are many ways to gain control of your stress and kick it to the curb, you can erase those early signs of aging.
