Talking about mental health, about the harm caused to our body by stress, of course, a lot has started happening, but still, these things are not given as much importance as is necessary. Mental health directly affects our bodies. When we get hurt somewhere in the body, have pain, fever, or upset stomach, then we immediately pay attention to it. But on the other hand, when we are mentally disturbed, we hesitate to talk to anyone about it. People often ignore mental health. Being under stress for a long time can harm the body to a great extent. That's why it is very important to take care of mental health.

You might be unaware of this but chronic stress affects our digestion, heart health, thinking power, body energy and even skin. Let us tell you what is the opinion of Ayurvedic doctor NitikaKohli about the connection of skin health with stress.

Skin Health's Connection to Stress

  • According to experts, if you are going through any kind of skin disorder, then you should immediately pay attention to your mental health.
  • There is a direct connection between mental health, stress and skin health. Stress, anxiety, and healing the skin can slow down the process.
  • One reason for this is that when you are under stress, you tend to ignore your skin health.
  • At the same time, due to stress, the defence of the skin also starts to weaken, that is, the skin is not able to protect itself from infections. Due to this skin related diseases start happening.
  • The signs related to stress become visible in the body. Stress, burning, and irritation can also be felt in the skin.

  • When you are under stress, you also adopt wrong eating habits, due to which the skin may get damaged.
  • Stress also affects the hormonal balance due to which the skin deteriorates. This can cause the problem of pimples.
  • Skin health is also affected due to stress eating because due to stress many times we end up overeating.
  • Due to stress, people often feel so upset and tired that they do not even feel like following any skincare routine and this affects their skin health.
