When you're stressed & feeling cornered by everything in your life, not only are you suffering from the inside, but from the outside as well!
Your skin gets effected by the stress in your life, it becomes more susceptible to skin disorders; scratches & scrapes stick around longer, your skin gets easily inflamed by scratchy wool sweaters, adhesive bandages, cold weather, or dry, itchy skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema!
If you're not cinvinced, this has been approved by a study on skin irritation ...

... in which sticky tape was applied & then removed from the forearms of participants. The skin of people who were highly stressed took longer to recover than the skin of people who were not tense.
So, whatever destresses you, can also calm your skin! Take a walk, do a little yoga or listen to your favorite music. Just relax!
