Stress. We all deal with it, but have you ever thought about the impact it has on your skin? Stress management is a vital step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and glowing skin. When we get too stressed, it causes cortisol levels to rise, resulting in increased inflammation, fatigue, sleep problems, cognitive issues and so much more.
The results of increased cortisol in the body all have the potential to negatively impact our skin health. Whether it’s stress acne, stress rash or other stress-related skin problems, it is vital that we take care of ourselves and reduce stress to maintain healthy, radiant skin.
Ways to Treat Stress Acne or Stress-Related Skin Problems:
Clarifying Facial
The Clarifying Facial is a great way to treat stress acne because it reduces the appearance of blemishes, breakouts, excess oil, and diminishes redness. It is also an incredibly relaxing service, so you’re combining stress acne treatment with a stress management technique!
This facial includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and purifying mask helps to soften your pores and loosen any congestion. Lymphatic drainage is done to alleviate toxin buildup under the skin which can cause bacteria retention. Our estheticians will manually extract any areas of concern followed by a Hydro Jelly mask and LED blue light to calm and rehydrate irritated skin. We top off this facial with custom medical grade serums, moisturizers, and SPF. Sounds relaxing, doesn’t it? Relaxation + stress acne skin treatment = less stressed you.
Hydrafacial MD
The Hydrafacial is a 3 step process that helps you achieve healthy looking skin. First, we cleanse and peel to uncover a new layer of skin. Then, we extract and hydrate to remove impurities from the skin and quench the skin with intense moisturizers. Finally, we fuse and protect to saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to promote healthy, glowing skin. The hydrafacial is a great way to treat stress acne and also decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - another stress-related skin issue.
