A moment of tension that ends in an acne breakout, a phase of anxiety that coincides with the worsening of psoriasis, or an insistent itch on emotionally difficult days. This is not just an impression: there is a direct connection between what we feel and what the skin expresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science has proven that intense emotions - especially negative ones such as stress, sadness or fear - can act as triggers for the appearance, recurrence or worsening of various dermatological diseases. But how exactly does this happen?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The skin is a reflection of the mind<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The skin is not only the largest organ of the human body - it is also a direct interface between the external world and our internal universe. In stressful situations, for example, the body goes into a state of alert and releases substances such as cortisol. When in excess, this hormone, which is essential for adapting to stress, can unbalance the immune system and affect the skin barrier, making the skin more sensitive and reactive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study published in the journal <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazilian Journal of Implantology and Health Sciences<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic psychological stress compromises the skin's defense function and causes changes that favor the skin:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the appearance of inflammation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased skin oiliness and acne;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the appearance of itching and allergic reactions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worsening of chronic conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and rosacea.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Emotions can trigger skin diseases<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several dermatological diseases are directly associated with patients' emotional state. Among those most affected by psychological factors are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>psoriasis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> considered an autoimmune inflammatory disease, psoriasis usually worsens during times of increased stress and anxiety. The very cycle of discomfort with one's appearance can reinforce the emotional state and generate a vicious circle;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>atopic dermatitis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seizures are often triggered by episodes of emotional stress;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>emotional urticaria:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without an apparent allergic origin, is strongly related to states of anguish, fear or stress;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>acne:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hormonal changes caused by stress increase sebum production and promote inflammation of the sebaceous glands.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This data reinforces what the scientific literature points out: the skin doesn't get sick on its own. There is a direct communication pathway between the brain, immune system, hormones and skin - the so-called psychoneuroimmunoendocrine axis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to protect your skin from emotional impact?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking care of your emotional health is a gesture of self-care that is also reflected in your skin. Some attitudes can help:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>respect your limits:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> breaks and moments of rest reduce the impact of stress on the body;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>adopt a self-care routine:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gentle cleansing, moisturizing and daily photoprotection help to keep the skin balanced;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>invest in mental health:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Psychotherapy, mindfulness and meditation are valuable tools for managing stress;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>look for an integrated approach:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dermatologists and psychologists can work together for more effective and lasting results.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognizing the influence of emotions on skin health is a fundamental step towards a more conscious and efficient skincare routine.
