How Skin Reacts to Stress: A Dermatologist's Answer
A person should learn to deal with stress, which negatively affects the general condition and appearance, and especially the condition of the skin.
This statement was made by surgeon Ilya Sharov in an interview for the publication “ AiF ”.
It is necessary to take into account that adrenaline and cortisol slow down the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
In addition, there may be a spasm of blood vessels, which disrupts the nutrition in the epidermis. As a result, the skin "wears out" faster.
The doctor also added in a conversation with journalists that various dermatoses, redness and peeling are possible.
They are usually visible on the face and hands.
The doctor noted that women may experience hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows falling out due to prolonged stress.
The doctor added that the connection between skin and psycho-emotional state is also proven by increased sweating of the skin in certain areas.
