Stress can really mess with your mood, but did you know it also takes a toll on your complexion? Anxiety, constant worry, and fatigue often trigger reactions in the skin, manifesting into acne, dryness, and general dullness. Here’s how to recover:
Breakouts: When you’re feeling especially tense, your cortisol levels spike, resulting in an increase in oil production that can bring on breakouts. To combat this, treat blemishes with a product that’s infused with salicylic acid, an ingredient that helps prevent pores from clogging.
Dryness: Stress can impair the skin’s lipid barrier function, leaving your complexion feeling parched. To keep skin looking plump and dewy, apply a deeply hydrating product like NIVEA Visage Q10 Advanced Wrinkle Reducer into the skin before bedtime (when skin repairs itself most efficiently).
Dullness: If stress has made your skin dry, it likely looks drab and lackluster. Restore its radiance by using NIVEA Sun-Kissed Facial Moisturizer—in just five days, you’ll notice your skin has a healthy, soft, natural glow.
