Can stress affect your skin?

Would you say that the last year has been stressful? If so, you’re not alone. But have you considered the effect all that stress is having on your skin? Stress can cause a domino effect in our bodies. As a result, we can experience fatigue, muscle aches, and even skin issues.

When your body is under stress, your sympathetic nervous system releases the stress hormone cortisol and adrenaline into your body. Unfortunately, cortisol has a bad reputation for increasing oil production in your skin glands; this excess oil can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts.

Ugh. Stressful days and breakouts? No, thank you. 

Unfortunately, stress can cause even more significant issues than acne and breakouts. Prolonged periods of stress can lead to frown lines and worry lines around the eyes. In addition, stress can take a severe toll on your skin and can reveal early signs of aging. 

No need to worry though, LUX has you covered!

Stress can cause a literal build-up of oil on the skin; facials are a great way to combat that. Our patients love getting our signature facials. Their skin will reap the benefits of these highly concentrated treatments, but it’s also a luxurious, relaxing treatment where you get to lay down and relax for a while as we pamper you. Don’t you owe it to yourself to relax and treat your skin?

Botox

Lines and wrinkles are signs of a life well-lived. However, many of us would still prefer not to see them. Botox is an excellent treatment that can stop and even reverse the signs of aging by preventing fine lines and wrinkles. 

-Are you prone to stress headaches? Often stress headaches are caused by tightening the muscles in our face and neck. Some patients even experience stress-induced migraines. Botox can prevent these headaches by impeding the movement of the muscles, literally eliminating the possibility of over-clenching them. If Botox isn’t for you, we offer many alternatives like Dysport and Jeuveau. Call us today to find out which one is right for you!

Massage

Massages are a great way to restore your body and spirit. Whether you want a little “me” time, require a deep tissue massage. A massage is a great way to practice restorative self-care while easing tension and resting your body. If you feel a bit run down, a lymphatic drainage massage might be just the right thing to promote lymphatic circulation and decongest your tissues.
