We all know the effects that stress can have on our body and our mental health, but have you thought about the effects it can have on your looks particularly your face, hair and nails.
Everyone suffers with stress from time to time but if it gets really bad it can affect your skin in many ways.
Stress can manifest itself on the skin as wrinkles, acne, and dry skin, as stress is known to trigger many conditions that may cause rashes such as, psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.
When under stress your body releases hormones leading to physiological changes that can impact your skin in a negative way.
Trying to cope with stress can also lead to bad habits such as biting your lip, grinding your teeth, pulling out your hair and biting your nails.
Problems
- Dry skin
- Acne
- Rashes
- Wrinkles
- Greying hair and hair loss
- Sore lips
- Tooth damage
There are ways of coping with stress, and these can include, eating a healthy diet, getting a good night’s sleep, and taking regular exercise. Spending a lot of money on expensive skin care will not get to the root of the problem and you may even find yourself taking long term medication.
If you feel conscious of your skin and the way you look, hypnotherapy could be the answer you are looking for. Hypnotherapy can be an effective method of helping with anxiety and stress. Hypnotherapy will help you experience a deep level of relaxation which is in itself is very therapeutic. Whilst in this very pleasant, safe and relaxed state we can tune into the subconscious part of the brain changing old habits and beliefs to more updated ones. This will encourage you to let go of your stresses, strains and anxiety enabling you to think more positively. Once you have managed to get your stress under control you should find that your skin condition improves dramatically.
