The effect stress has on our skin ✨

Let’s talk about how stress can effect our skin and ways to help our skin during these times.

Stress doesn’t just effect our bodies internally it can also be seen through our skin, as our skin is a reflection of what it happening on inside.

As the stress levels in our body increases so does the bacteria in our gut and our bodies release hormones such as cortisol. This triggers internal inflammation and our glands begin to over produce oil that can worsen pre-existing conditions such as acne and eczema.

Ways to help these effects
- Regular exfoliation
- Don’t skip your daily skincare routine
- Find a way to unwind and relax after a hectic day

✨ Facials tailored to your needs✨

whether you have a skin concern that you would like to improve or just looking to be pampered and leave with a healthy glow, there is a treatment suited to you.

✨How stress can show in our bodies✨

Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences. We all experience some form of stress from time to time and it is totally normal.

When we begin to feel stressed our bodies release hormones as a way to respond to this. These hormones can cause physical and emotional symptoms such as

- Headaches
- Stomach and chest pains
- Muscle aches and tension
- High blood pressure
- Low energy
- Problems sleeping
- Lowered immune system

- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Depression

Small doses of stress can be good at times such as a new challenge in life to keep us motivated and alert but on the other hand it can quickly escalate and become too much for our bodies to handle and begin to take a toll on our physical health and mental well being. In this case it is always best to talk to a professional to help manage the amount of stress you are dealing with.

Ways to help reduce stress
- Exercise helps with our emotional intensity so we can deal with the problem with a clear mind
- A good network of friends and family
- Schedule in some time for yourself, book that massage to relieve that muscle tension
- Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Try to keep in perspective that we all have bad days!

Skincare tips for the gym 🤸🏽

Sweat can become trapped in your pores along with dirt and bacteria which can cause a breakout or worsen your acne but don’t let this stop you from going to the gym.

✨ Take a clean face towel with you to wipe off sweating during your work out to stop any build up.

✨ if you enjoy using the sauna, limit the time you spend in there to avoid excess heat on your skin which can cause it to become dehydrated or irritated.

✨ Please, please , please! If you are going to go to the gym on the day of your facial go before hand. Your skin may be slightly more sensitive after a treatment and doing excessive exercise may cause irritation.
