Key Questions Answered
When an individual is stressed, the body produces higher levels of the cortisol hormone. This hormonal change reduces skin moisture, slows down blood circulation, damages natural skin oils, and weakens the skin's outer layer, leading to dull, dry, and pimple-prone skin.
You can care for your skin externally by applying aloe vera gel for 15-20 minutes to reduce dryness, using a mixture of turmeric and honey to cleanse and brighten the face, or gently massaging with coconut or almond oil to boost circulation.
Drinking plenty of water, lemon water, coconut water, or cucumber water helps maintain skin moisture. Consuming fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants—such as oranges, papayas, carrots, and beetroot—along with nuts like almonds and walnuts, nourishes the skin from within.
