Impact of stress on skin and hair

Stress directly affects the skin and hair, as the body secretes the hormone cortisol, which increases oil production and leads to acne, dryness, and skin irritation. It also worsens chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Additionally, stress slows down wound healing and causes pallor and fatigue in the skin due to sleep disturbances. Regarding hair, stress can cause hair loss, especially after difficult emotional events, leading to a condition called telogen effluvium, and it may exacerbate alopecia areata while also triggering trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). There is a complex relationship between the nervous system and the skin, communicated through hormones and inflammatory substances. Stress-related disorders can worsen skin problems, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without comprehensive treatment. To reduce the impact of stress on the skin and hair, it is advised to get adequate sleep, engage in physical activity, follow a balanced diet, practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, and avoid harsh products.
