Tips for Healthy Skin

A balanced life including adequate sleep, proper nutrition and exercise reduces stress. Stress releases hormones like Cortisol that act directly on chemical messengers near nerve endings in the skin. Those messengers alter the skin’s immune system called SALT. They also lead to changes in the skin as a barrier to the outside world. As a result the skin becomes dehydrated, cracked and inflamed. Fissures become permanent, lines deepen, tumors and growths form as infections such as wart virus take hold. Strengthen your immune system with sleep, nutrition and exercise and see the effects of healthy living on your face.
