Can stress cause skin problems?

Have you felt stressed or feeling aged? If so, your skin speaks for it. Based on the research that both acute and chronic stress can exploit dull effects on overall skin wellness, as well as heighten several skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema, acne, and hair loss.

But it’s not just a one-way street. Research has also shown that skin and hair follicles contain complex mechanisms to produce their stress-inducing signals, which can travel to the brain and perpetuate the stress reaction.
