Why stress show on your face?

We are built to recognize danger and our subconscious system has a natural physical response pre-programmed into us to react to those critical situation.

When we enter this ‘fight or flight’ mode, we experience a surge in the hormones adrenalin, cortisol and noradrenalin that prepare us to survive a threat to our lives. Our heart rate accelerates, blood flow to our brain and muscles increase by up to 500%. Even our stomach becomes acidic, and the structure our collagen and connective tissue becomes damaged.

Although some kind of stress is good for us, too much stress will have a long term strain on our skin and body. This include acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, pre-mature aging. Stress also cause many to turn to entertainment to numb their senses and rob them of sleep.

Why stress cause acne?

50% of the female population aged 20 to 40 years old have low grade persistent acne. You must be wondering why?  The more stressed we are, the more insulin will be produced. Insulin stimulate hormones called androgens, which causes sebum glands to be overactive

Why stress cause aging?

We can tell if someone is stressed often by looking at their expression lines. They tend to have deeper frown lines, droopy mouth and often have their jaws clenched. When we are stressed, blood flow is reduced and less oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the skin cells. Also, with increased cortisol, sugar is released to help produce more energy for the body which breaks down the structure between collagen and elastin.

What are the top stress-busters?

* Meditate: Sitting still, breathing deeply and focus on the light between your eyebrows. Simple to do. A couple of minutes a day yield tremendous benefits to our health. Besides pacing the heart well, deep breathing also help to send enough oxygen to repair all our vital organs including our skin.

* Exercise: Use it or loose it. Endorphin aka happy hormones get produced whilst we are exercising. A fit body and sound mind is the foundation of where dreams are built.

* Socialize and laugh: Looking at the Okinawan and Sardinian way of life, where they socialize by drinking tea/dancing/singing and have fellowship with their friends, we learn a lot. Human needs a reason to wake up in the morning. Besides family members, friends are as important.

* Eat wholesome food: Before intermittent fasting, keto diet, organic food, pre-biotic/pro-biotic food became popular, we observe many cultures have demonstrated good eating habits which resulted in many centurions amongst them. The most quoted is non other than the Mediterranean diet which is uses olive oil liberally not only in their cooking but also all their body/hair care. Besides olive oil, their diet is filled with beans, seeds and nuts which are rich in Omega 3, 6 which helps in balancing hormones, brain and heart functions. Not to mention skin.

* Have meaningful work: ‘Tap dancing to work’ says Warren Buffet. Yes, it is this feeling of being in the flow which we all would like to encourage our children to discover. With medical advances and knowledge of how the body functions, life expectancy will be longer. Living up to 100 or 120 years should become even more common. If you are in your 40s, it is not too late to start thinking about how you wish to remain active in your most productive years.
