In recent years, the connection between the skin and the mind has become the subject of intensive research, leading to the emergence of a new field – psychodermatology. This fascinating field combines dermatology and psychology, revealing amazing ways our emotions influence the health of our skin, and how our skin can, in turn, affect our emotional state. Natura Bissé, a leader in the wellness industry, delves into this topic and brings you four scientifically backed truths that reveal how caring for your skin can also transform your emotional and mental well-being.
1. Touching the skin releases positive neurochemicals
The skin is the most sensitive organ in the human body, with millions of receptors that respond to stimulation. A massage or any form of gentle touch triggers the release of happiness hormones such as serotonin and dopamine. Additionally, oxytocin, known as the “love hormone,” is also released during a massage, contributing to relaxation, stress reduction, and increased empathy. This sense of relaxation can significantly enhance your mood and emotional balance.
2. Skin feels and responds to stress
In some ways, your skin “feels” your internal tension. When you are on alert, your skin releases substances that can trigger or aggravate skin conditions, such as psoriasis, acne, and dermatitis. If you learn to manage stress through meditation, yoga, deep breathing or relaxation with spa treatments, you can significantly improve your skin’s health while also reducing the negative impact of stress on your mental health.
3. Stress accelerates skin aging
Chronic stress directly affects on health of your skin. Prolonged tension prompts the body to increase cortisol production, a hormone that can disrupt skin structure and function. Periods of stress lead to excess cortisol production, which directly impacts your skin:
- It slows down the activity of fibroblasts, reducing the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
- It disrupts lipid production, contributing to dry skin.
- It increases the activity of enzymes that break down skin fibers, which can accelerate the signs of aging.
The solution? Make self-care a priority. Relaxation should be a part of your daily routine. Engage in activities that reduce stress and enjoy moments of care. Not only will this improve your well-being, but it will also help your skin stay youthful!
4. Skin conditions affect how you feel
Certain acute forms of acne or melasma can have a profound psychological impact. Keep in mind that today, psychodermatology specialists, who address these issues from multiple angles, are here to assist. They will evaluate the best approaches to nurturing both your skin and mental well-being.
