What Treatments Help With the Imprint Stress Leaves on the Skin?
“Mind-body therapies have been shown to ameliorate some of the harmful physiological changes attributed to stress or to reduce harmful behaviours. Treatments such as meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, guided imagery and more have been evaluated in the treatment of skin disease and have shown some benefits. Interventions have had beneficial outcomes in diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, trichotillomania and others.
There are treatments that can be used to help diminish the negative effects of stress. Creating a consistent and simple skincare routine to reveal, enhance and protect the skin is an effective foundation. Repairing the skin barrier is essential, a healthy and functional skin barrier is important against dehydration and penetration of allergens and irritants. Stay away from aggressive treatments. Invest in gentle exfoliation to create an inviting environment for nutrients to enhance the skin. Go for antioxidants and skin nourishers - think of vitamins C, E and A to protect and enhance collagen and elastin production. Find products rich in ceramides to lock in hydration and hydrators like glycerine, hyaluronic acid and squalene. Led can also help reduce skin inflammation, improve skin health and help reduce stress.
In-office treatments can be applied to help target effects such as fine line, wrinkles and pigmentation.”
