Did you know that your mood can influence the health of your skin? A study conducted by the University of California revealed that emotional stress can negatively affect the skin’s barrier function and increase the severity of skin disorders such as acne and dermatitis. The results highlight the importance of addressing both emotional well-being and skin health to achieve optimal skin.

Being happy increases your collagen levels When we experience emotions like happiness and gratitude, our body releases neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which not only improve our mood but also trigger the release of neurotransmitters that stimulate collagen production, that magical protein that keeps our skin firm and young. So, smile and let your skin glow with happiness!

Sadness can make your skin look dull and lifeless:

On the other hand, chronic stress and sadness can have negative effects on our skin. So if you’re going through a tough time, you shouldn’t neglect your skin. Stress releases hormones like cortisol, which can accelerate aging and increase the appearance of imperfections. Cultivating happiness, reducing stress, and taking care of your skin with professional treatments can counteract these negative effects and keep your skin in optimal condition.

Recommendations for taking care of your skin through your emotions
