CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: The Link Between Stress & Skin – How We Can Help

Ever notice a breakout before a big event or a dull, tired look after a stressful week? That’s not a coincidence. Stress impacts your entire body—including your skin. At Il Mulino Aesthetics, we understand how lifestyle factors affect your skin health, & we’re here to help you restore balance inside + out.

How Stress Affects Your Skin

1. Breakouts & Acne

When you’re stressed, your body produces more cortisol (the stress hormone). Cortisol triggers oil glands to work overtime, which can lead to clogged pores & breakouts.

2. Redness & Sensitivity

Stress can disrupt your skin barrier, making it more reactive & prone to redness, irritation, & even flare-ups of conditions like eczema or rosacea.

3. Dullness & Dehydration

High stress levels can slow down skin renewal & reduce hydration, leaving you with a tired, uneven complexion.

4. Premature Aging

Chronic stress breaks down collagen & elastin—proteins that keep your skin firm + youthful—leading to fine lines & sagging over time.
