The Stress-Skin Connection
Our skin is like a home security system for the rest of the body. It provides us with both protection and surveillance (alerting us of internal and external danger).
In brief moments of stress, our skin may sweat, itch, or get goosebumps. During extreme or prolonged stress, things can get much worse...
Stress can cause or worsen these skin conditions:
acne
hives
eczema
vitiligo
psoriasis
cold sores
hydradentitis supporativa (HS)
rosacea
hair loss
dandruff
delayed wound healing
...And all of the above can stress us out some more.
The cycle continues until we reduce the stress in our lives.
If the stress-skin cycle sounds familiar....
You may be interested in the relief therapy can bring. As an expert in the mind-body connection, I can help you learn your patterns, reduce the stress that is impacting your skin, and become your own healer.
