How Stress Affects Your Skin—and What You Can Do About It

How Stress Affects Your Skin—and What You Can Do About It

Stress is something most of us experience daily, and while we often think about its mental and emotional effects, it can also influence the condition of our skin. At IVI Medical Clinic, we aim to share information that helps you better understand the connection between stress and skin health.

🧠 How Stress May Affect the Skin

When the body is under stress, it produces hormones such as cortisol. Higher cortisol levels may:

  • Increase oil production, which can be associated with breakouts.
  • Affect the skin barrier, leading to dryness or sensitivity.
  • Influence collagen, which plays a role in skin structure and firmness.

Slow the skin’s natural repair process.


🌸 Possible Skin Concerns Related to Stress

Some people may notice:

  • Breakouts or acne flare-ups.
  • Dull or tired-looking skin.
  • Under-eye puffiness or dark circles from disrupted sleep.

Conditions such as eczema or rosacea becoming more reactive.

🌿 General Tips for Supporting Skin Health During Stress
