If you wake up with a puffy face, stress might be to blame. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can wreak havoc on your skin and body. Too much cortisol can lead to puffiness, redness, acne, slowed healing, inflammation, and premature aging. It’s important to balance cortisol levels for overall well-being.
Celebrity esthetician Danuta Mieloch explains the connection between cortisol and skin health. She recommends supplements like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea to help manage stress. Engaging in low-impact movement, mindfulness practices, and moderating caffeine intake can also support healthy cortisol levels.
For stressed skin, focus on anti-inflammatory clean beauty products, moisturizers, and sunscreen. Regular facials and facial massages can also help maintain skin health. By addressing cortisol levels and following a skincare routine, you can improve the appearance and health of your skin.
