Introduction
Have you ever wondered, “is stress changing your skin”? When you’re chronically stressed, your cortisol levels rise to unhealthy heights. This can lead to various negative side effects, depending on what your free radicals are targeting. Stress that isn’t managed properly will negatively impact your modeling career and feeling of peace.
What Stress Affects
If free radicals attack elastin, collagen, and lipids, you might experience wrinkles, dry skin, skin barrier damage, and acne.
Solutions
Expensive creams and serums might not solve the issue and could even exacerbate the skin’s condition more. Topical products often don’t penetrate deeply enough to address the root of the problem. Lowering your cortisol levels naturally can relieve stress without the need for costly products.
Effective & Natural Stress Relievers:
- Cry
- Orgasm
- Journal
- Exercise

- Meditation
Additionally, eating foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and C can counteract the free radical damage caused by stress. Consider incorporating kale, sweet yellow peppers, kiwi, cantaloupe, papaya, strawberries, tomatoes, salmon, dark chocolate, and green tea into your diet.
