As a woman capable of doing plenty of things, errands here and there, our daily lives are bombarded with varieties of life stressors – may it be coming from your work, at home, your personal relationships, or even the environment that can up to daily stress. Have you ever experienced a breakout during your stress days? Well then, the rationale behind your stressed skin is that the body’s sympathetic nervous system releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline into your body when you are experiencing a little bit of stress. Cortisol causes an increase in oil production in your skin glands, which in turn can cause an acne breakout.

Do not get all worked up in dealing with stressed skin as there are plenty of healthy skincare habits to establish when you are experiencing down times in your life.
While scanning this, have you thought of the steps you previously have taken in response to this? What happened to your skin then? Does it get better? Or worse?

According to the experts, as a general rule of thumb, going back to basics would save your stressed skin from a lot of drama during not-so-easy times such as stress, skincare products with excess fragrance, colors, and dyes could have a big tendency to irritate the skin during these fragile times. On the other note, in as much as you are tempted in covering up your stressed skin, makeup won’t be the best resort to do it. Allowing your skin to breathe by taking less makeup would be of big help.

While covering up might be the first thing that comes to your mind, little did you know that there are plenty of skincare ingredients that do all the wonders in saving your skin when signs of stress go visible in it.

Buckle up, Queens as we got you all covered up in dealing with your stressed skin.

Hyaluronic acid

Plays a role in keeping the skin hydrated. Our bodies can naturally produce this but as we age older, the process of producing it deteriorates.  Hyaluronic acid essentially helps the skin to hold water thereby keeping the skin hydrated. On the other note, as backed by Science, it’ll take about 28 days for a new skin cell to make it to the surface of the skin. But as with aging, the skin renewal process would take a little bit longer, good thing that Hyaluronic Acid also stimulates skin regeneration by means of offering extra hydration and barrier protection to the skin giving you healthier skin and a more vibrant complexion.
