THE EFFECTS OF STRESS ON YOUR SKIN | LIVING HEALTHY SOAPS

Stress can have a profound impact on your skin, often inflaming any underlying skin conditions or encouraging unhealthy habits that could take a toll on your complexion. What most people aren’t so aware of, though, is that stress can noticeably age your skin. Because people respond differently to stress, it can show up differently in individuals. The effects of stress can show up on skin as increased wrinkles, dryness, dullness, acne and sagging skin. 

Stress Free from the Inside-Out

To help destress your skin, start by cleansing with our uplifting Aloe Vera Soap. Geranium Oil is great for reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, fatigue, and tension, providing a general sense of well-being and relaxation, while offering relief to those suffering from insomnia. Its sweet, uplifting floral scent and astringent properties coupled with Tangerine oil works to reduce visible signs of aging by tightening and firming skin to reduce wrinkles and the appearance of sagging skin. 

There are studies that show that bathing can reduce stress. Sinking into our Himalayan Pink Salt Magic Soap feels like a meditation in and of itself. The next time you’re in the tub submerge your shoulders for twenty to thirty minutes and you’ll feel the difference. Not to mention your psyche will thank you.
