How Stress Can Impact the Health of Your Skin

Stress is an unavoidable part of life that can have a profound impact on one's overall health - and this extends to the condition of the skin barrier. When we experience stress, our body releases hormones like cortisol, which can disrupt the delicate balance of the skin's natural protective barrier. This disruption can lead to increased inflammation and a compromised ability to retain moisture, resulting in dry, irritated, and even acne-prone skin. Additionally, stress can impede the skin's ability to repair itself, slowing down the natural process of cell turnover and hindering the production of essential lipids, which help maintain a healthy skin barrier. Over time, chronic stress can contribute to more serious skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, making it crucial to address stress as a key factor in maintaining skin health.

Antioxidants play a crucial role in helping the body combat the negative impact of stress while preserving the health of our skin. A stress event triggers the body's production of harmful molecules called free radicals, which can damage cells, including those in the skin. Antioxidants are natural substances that work to neutralize these free radicals, preventing them from causing oxidative stress. This process is vital in mitigating the negative effects of stress on both your body and your skin!
S H I M M E R  C H E F formulas are crafted with nutrient dense plant-based ingredients potent in antioxidants that work to protect your skin barrier by armoring it against the effects of environmental and daily stressors. Formulas that work for you, not against you!
