Does Stress Cause Skin Damage?

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on May 22, 2017 by drbussoMay 29, 2017

stress and skin healthNo one is immune to stress. Some manage their tension better than others, but day-to-day life is full of things big and small that can cause us to be on edge and anxiety-ridden. Stress doesn’t just cause problems in the mind, though. Elevated stress levels contribute to numerous physical health problems, including heart disease, obesity, gastrointestinal issues, and diabetes. No part of the body is immune from the effects of mental anguish – including your skin.

Stress can cause many skin problems, both temporary and long-term. When we feel stressed, our bodies react by producing increased amounts of cortisol and other hormones. These substances are what cause us to perspire more in strenuous situations. Unfortunately, cortisol also comes with traces of testosterone, which boosts oil production. The excess oil on your skin is a driving factor behind unsolicited acne.

In addition to acne, too much worry can cause other damage to your skin and worsen any skin conditions you may already be fighting, such as:

  • Psoriasis
  • Rosacea
  • Eczema
  • Hives
  • Fever blisters

 

The same culprit – cortisone – also causes dry skin, which, in turn, leads to wrinkles and damage. The wrinkles on our face are often prompted or exacerbated by repetitive expressions and reactions. Think about when you feel stressed. Do you furrow your brow, purse your lips, or have some other regular facial reaction to stressful situations? If you do those things enough and on a regular basis, wrinkles and other undesirable imperfections are likely to develop.

Finally, when we are stressed for extended periods of time, we may tend to neglect our health; eating poorly, not making time for exercise, sleep deprivation, and failing to take good care of our skin. The irony is that the opposite of all of those things – healthy nutrition, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and an attentive skin care regimen – are some of the very ways we can reduce stress and minimize any stress-related damage to our skin.

At Dr. Busso’s leading Miami cosmetic dermatology clinic, we help patients improve their skin health no matter what the underlying cause. An expert in all things skincare and aesthetics, Dr. Busso has coached physicians all over the country on his innovative techniques and quality of care. Call us today at 305-857-0144 to schedule your consultation.

3 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Skin

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on December 26, 2016 by drbussoDecember 24, 2016

new year's resolutionsWant to set yourself up for a healthy and happy New Year? Start by raising your beauty self-esteem with a few key skin care resolutions. Too many people over criticize their appearance, letting diminished self-confidence limit their career ambitions and life goals. Fortunately, everyone can spruce up their look and health with better self-care. After all, as your body’s largest organ, skin wellbeing is just as critical as shedding those extra pounds.

To jumpstart your journey toward a healthy and self-assured year ahead, consider the following three skin care New Year’s resolutions.

Clean Makeup Brushes Regularly

Being in a hurry is no excuse to use a dirty makeup tool to get ready for the day. Makeup brushes are prone to bacteria buildup, which can lead to acne flare-ups, clogged pores, skin irritation, pink eye and possibly a staph infection. In addition, germs from grimy makeup brushes exposes the skin to free radicals, which disintegrates collagen and elastin more rapidly. After collagen and elastic break down, wrinkles and other signs of premature aging materialize. Commit to cleaning your brushes with cleanser and a scrubbing mat at least once a week, and your complexion and makeup application will be smoother than ever.

Wash Before Bed – Religiously

If there’s one bad habit to break in 2017, it’s hitting the hay without properly washing your face. Sleeping in makeup clogs pores, triggers unsightly breakouts and causes potential long-term skin damage. To test the importance of removal, a Daily Mail journalist slept in her makeup for one month straight and underwent 3-d image testing afterward to analyze the results. Aside from the itchy and swollen eyes, white cysts, flaky skin and dirty pillowcase throughout the one-month experiment, the subject’s 3-d imaging revealed 10-20 percent structural decline, a drop in moisture levels, deeper wrinkles, enlarged pores and substantial redness. Experts consulted said the research caused her skin to age 10 years during the short 30-day experiment.¹ This story alone provides enough motivation to wash habitually as part of your resolutions, even if you’re stuck using a makeup remover wipe in a pinch.

Visit the Dermatologist

Despite the do-it-yourself recipes and skin care promises from high-end retail brands, a personalized assessment of your skin care needs is pertinent. Dr. Mariano Busso, Miami’s renowned cosmetic dermatologist, provides patients services that rejuvenate the skin and promote sustainable self-confidence. With your initial consultation, Dr. Busso assesses the state of your skin, diagnoses possible disorders and attends to your concerns. Whether opting for a simple resurfacing treatment, such as microdermabrasion, or dermal fillers for youthful skin, Dr. Busso puts reliability, honest communication and patient satisfaction above all.

 

To achieve your New Year’s resolutions for healthier skin, call Dr. Busso’s office directly at 305-857-0144. Or, book your appointment online via our onsite form. We would like to wish all patients and readers a Happy New Year!

 

Cheers to better skin in 2017,

Dr. Mariano Busso & Team
