Our stress rate may increase periodically depending on the problems. Increasing stress causes many diseases and it may not be understood that the problem of these diseases is stress. Stress also affects skin health. In order to solve skin problems, it is necessary to solve the stress first, and then to do the right nutrition, exercise and skin care. Skin Care Specialist Elif Bulem Ünver gave information about the subject.
WHAT SKIN PROBLEMS DOES STRESS AFFECT?
There is a bidirectional relationship between a person’s mental structure/personality characteristics and skin diseases. Psychological stress may affect the skin through neuromediators (hormones) and may predispose to some skin diseases.
Diseases can also cause psychiatric problems in the person. The main dermatological diseases known to be exacerbated by stress are chronic diseases such as eczema, acne (acne), psoriasis, ringworm, and urticaria.
HOW SHOULD THE CARE ROUTINE BE FOR HEALTHY SKIN?
We should start our skin care by cleaning our face with a suitable cleanser. The absorption and therefore the effectiveness of moisturizers that will be applied without removing the dead skin cells, oil and make-up particles accumulated on our skin throughout the day will decrease. In the first step
it is necessary to clean our skin with a suitable cleanser and purify it with a tonic. In the second step, we should take care of the dark circles, bruises and wrinkles around the eyes. In the third step, we should apply strengthening serums to soften the skin, moisturize it and increase the effectiveness of day/night creams. In the last step, we apply night and day creams suitable for our skin structure.
We complete our routine. Following this routine, which takes only 2 minutes twice a day, increases the effectiveness of the products up to 7 times.
