Stress can exacerbate inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and psoriasis
Stress can accelerate the skin aging process
Impaired skin barrier can lead to better penetration of pathogenic microbes
Stress can disrupt the balance of the skin microbiome
Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus bacteria are found in higher abundances in stressed individuals
Topical cream treatments can restore skin microbiome balance
Stress can alter the gut microbiota via the 'gut-skin axis' and worsen skin health.
