Study Notes
- Stress can impact the skin barrier by reducing essential lipids and structural proteins
- This can lead to increased transepidermal water loss and reduced hydration
- Stressed skin may manifest as dry, oily, sensitive, itchy, or rash-prone
- 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.
