In addition to stress directly affecting skin permeability, Hydralyft chronic stress can also affect the functioning of the immune system. Stress down regulates the immune system making us more susceptible to infection. Skin conditions that have significant immune involvement are worsened. These include shingles, psoriasis, cold sores and eczema. Stressed individuals are also more likely to eat and sleep less healthily or be more likely to drink more alcohol further suppressing the immune system.
So how does stress reduction help with the treatment of skin conditions? Firstly, it helps by decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory hormones, which results in less inflammation, redness and rash like symptoms. It also reduces blood vessel hyper-activity resulting in less frequent skin flushing, which is particularly important in rosacea. Time will see an improvement in skin permeability, which means greater hydration and less sensitivity. Oiliness will improve as hormones settle back to normal. This may take up to 3 months. Reducing stress will result overall in better condition both for those with existing skin disorders as well as those with normal skin.
Taking the time to incorporate some simple stress reducing techniques into your daily routine will help improve the condition of your skin:Avoid excessive consumption of stimulants such as coffee and soft drink. One caffeine-containing drink per day is ample. For those that are particularly sensitive, drink green tea instead of coffee.
Exercise can significantly reduce stress levels. The release of endorphins following exercise increases feelings of happiness and well being. In addition it increases circulation and therefore nutrition to your extremities, including your skin.
