Is stress causing your skin condition?

Stress triggers a chemical response that can make skin more sensitive and reactive. It can also make it more difficult for skin problems to heal.1 Doctors recommend stress relaxation products and techniques to some patients as part of their treatment plan.

Relaxation techniques

Here are a few tips to help manage stress levels and take better care of yourself and your skin:2

  1. Make skincare a priority, even if you're tired or stressed.

  2. Exercise regularly. It's good for your skin and the rest of your body.

  3. Take a break to do something you enjoy, even if it’s just 10 minutes.

  4. Get outside. A walk around the block can have therapeutic benefits.

  5. Practice stress management techniques, such as breathing exercises, yoga or meditation.

  6. Sleep is essential – aim for 8 hours each night.

Essential oils: chamomile and lavender

Chamomile has been used for centuries in aromatherapy because it has calming and soothing properties. Lavender also has stress-relieving benefits. It calms and soothes skin and has a therapeutic scent.
