STRESS SKIN HOW TO BEAT IT

Examine your

diet “If you’re eating a lot of white foods with flour, yeast and also lots of sugar, try and cut down,” says Sarah Kugelman. “It’s best to have a diet high in antioxidants, with foods like sweet potatoes and avocados.”

Keep to a fitness regimen, but build in rest “Exercise helps sweat out impurities from lymph nodes and sends oxygen to all organs and the skin. It can help to clear and detoxify your skin.” Take it easy on yourself “Yoga, acupuncture and meditation are all known to help with stress.”

Make sure you have enough sleep “If your body has at least eight hours’ rest a night, it can renew itself and rejuvenate, which will make a huge difference to your skin.”

If your skin still doesn’t respond, consult an expert “You may have hormonal problems or an underlying infection. So get it checked.”
