Here are some reasons why stress causes bad skin and weak hair.
Acne, boils
When stressed, the body produces the hormone cortisol, which causes the sebum gland to work harder than usual. This excess oil can easily clog pores, creating conditions for acne and boils to appear.
Dry and itchy skin
Prolonged stress weakens the skin's barrier, causing natural moisture to quickly disappear. This makes the skin dry, easily flaky and often has unpleasant itching.
rashes and dermatological diseases
Stress weakens the immune system, causing an imbalance of the microbiome on the skin and in the intestines. As a result, the skin is prone to rashes, redness, and even worsening diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or contact dermatitis.
Hair grows slowly, easily falls out
One of the obvious effects of stress is telogen effluvium, which causes hair follicles to stop growing. At that time, hair loss is likely to be unusual, especially when washing or brushing.
Early gray hair
Stress triggers the sympathetic nervous system, causing the hectares to decrease. This causes hair to quickly lose color, turning gray earlier than normal age.
Unconscious pulling hair
Some people experience trichotillomania when they are stressed - the act of unconsciously pulling hair out to relieve emotions. In the long run, this habit makes hair thin, unsightly and difficult to recover.
