Stress in everyday life can have many causes, and sometimes we don't even notice the stressors and their effects. It's not just stressful situations that are the problem. Our lifestyle, our diet, hormonal changes as we age, smoking, false ambition in sports, noise, poor sleep, among many other family and work-related things, can trigger stress in our bodies without us always noticing it. Synthetic fragrances in cosmetics can also stress our brain.

Inner restlessness and stress lead to increased cortisol, which promotes inflammation and collagen breakdown. Skin stress accelerates skin aging through oxidative stress and reduces skin regeneration. Stress literally makes us old.

The visible aging process of the skin is accelerated. The skin becomes irritated, red, sometimes sweaty, sometimes dry. Wrinkles appear more quickly and the skin color appears unhealthy. When it comes to skin care , additional stressors such as synthetic perfumes and other harmful substances should be avoided at all costs.
