The latest buzz in the beauty world is ‘psychodermatology’, which is all about the relationship between your mind and your skin.

Skin is a living organ and needs to be treated as it ages. It is also responsive to stress, both internal (ours) and external (stressors around us).

Most of us have experienced things in our environment that make us want to scream into a pillow, which really throws our skins off balance. The annoying thing is too that while we may all stress differently, women are generally more stressed than men.

So, just like how a mental health professional assists us when we’re going through a rough time, a skin health expert, like those from Skin Renewal, can do the same, but for our face. It’s all about finding that sweet spot.

Do More Than Put On A Happy Face: Why Stress Messes With Your Skin

We can blame almost everything on stress these days and for good reason. When it comes to the skin, it’s one of the worse things to happen to us. Not only can stress make existing skin conditions worse, but it also speeds up the ageing process.

 The ageing process is fast-tracked when inflammation increases beneath the surface of your skin, caused by that fight or flight response that stress forces on your body. That’s why we talk so often about rejuvenation and even “Baby Botox” neurotoxin injectables, which may be all you need to help slow down the old you. We’re all about the “prevention is better than cure” mantra. 

It’s also pertinent to manage your stress levels and find your zen, which is easier said than done, we know. Slap some cucumbers on your eyes and lie back, that’s the doctor’s order!

Consider Skin Injectables For A Softer-Looking Expression

Don’t look now, but that worried-looking frown has played tricks on you. A lot has happened to make you scowl, and now you can’t seem to un-frown your face. Or is it your brows? Either way, we get it.

Sagging brows do actually happen naturally over time as your collagen and elastin start to dip. But constant frowning means the movement can also impact how those brows hang. And it can make you look less than jolly. The same goes for a downturned mouth, as volume loss as you age turns your pout into a sulky mouth – even if you’re actually happy. 

The good news is that you can refresh that brow droop with a neurotoxins treatment, while also looking to dermal volumisers to lift mouth corners and also de-age your lips. Thin lips can affect the overall balance of your face, and as you age, your pucker may be less plump than before, so it is almost always a good idea, then, to restore your smile with injectables for a softer expression and, of course, volume loss.
