STRESS + BEAUTY = THE BAD MATCH

Stress is responsible for numerous damages to the skin, hair, and body… Why does our beauty suffer when we are stressed? How can we remedy this?

In a society where everything is accelerating, where our schedules are constantly full, and where professional and personal stress is omnipresent, we are forced to acknowledge the consequences for our bodies. We'll give you our advice, simple steps to adopt, and our favorite products to stay beautiful and healthy.

I HAVE DRY SKIN

The effects of stress affect the superficial blood vessels, which then preferentially direct blood to the muscles rather than the skin. As a result, the skin will be less nourished and dehydrated. It is essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day and use moisturizing products.

I'M LOSING MY HAIR

Hair loss doesn't usually appear immediately, but several months after a period of significant stress. When we're stressed, blood flow to the scalp is reduced. Hair growth slows down, and that's often when we notice hair loss. We try to eat a balanced diet rich in iron and protein, and especially consider taking supplements.

I HAVE REDNESS AND SENSITIVE SKIN

During periods of stress, the body secretes glucocorticoids, which impair cell renewal. The skin becomes more fragile, and it's important to repair it. Drink plenty of water and use soothing, restorative, and protective skincare products.

I HAVE ACNE

The stress hormone cortisol is partly responsible for skin problems like acne. It increases sebum production and prevents proper cell renewal; dead skin cells clog pores and create pimples.

MY SKIN IS LESS ELASTIC

When the body secretes cortisol, it is difficult for the skin to regenerate naturally and produce collagen and elastin. Cortisol is responsible for the breakdown of collagen and therefore the more rapid appearance of wrinkles.

I'M BLOATED

Stress triggers the release of adrenaline, which is partly responsible for the drop in magnesium levels. A magnesium deficiency leads to poor digestion and bloating. Probiotics are taken to rebalance the gut flora, and superfoods are consumed to aid digestion and elimination.

I FEEL TIRED

In some cases, the immune system is weakened, and more serious skin problems can even develop. Therefore, it's important to strengthen your immune system.
