If you’ve ever noticed your skin breaking out or flaring up right when life gets stressful, you’re not imagining it.
When cortisol stays high, your skin barrier weakens, moisture escapes, and inflammation builds up under the surface.
But the good news? Supporting your skin through stress is easier than you think.
Here’s what actually helps:
1️⃣ Regulate your stress response: Short breathing exercises (like box breathing) or 10 minutes of mindfulness can lower cortisol and rebalance your skin’s repair cycle.
2️⃣ Move gently: Walking and yoga calm your nervous system more effectively than intense workouts when you’re already stressed.
3️⃣ Prioritize sleep: Your skin repairs itself overnight, and poor sleep keeps cortisol high when it should be low.
4️⃣ Support from within: Nutrients like phosphatidylserine, omega-3s, and vitamin C give your skin the tools to strengthen its barrier, manage inflammation, and restore glow.
