How Stress Affects Skin
You know you've got it. You know how it feels.
But do you know what stress is doing to your skin?
| This is what stress does: | This is how stress reacts: | The skyn ICELAND® solution: |
|---|---|---|
| Increases sebum (oil) production | Clogs pores and induces blemishes | Reduces oiliness and helps prevent breakouts. Promotes fresh, clear and blemish-free skin |
| Impairs lipid barrier function | Creates dry, dehydrated, dull skin | Moisturizes, nourishes and replenishes to create soft, smooth skin |
| Creates internal inflammation | Prematurely ages skin, causing lines and wrinkles | Visibly diminishes signs of aging for firmer, more toned and younger-looking skin |
| Compromises immune function | Creates dullness, lack of radiance and uneven skin tone and texture | Fortifies and protects for healthy, radiant and glowing skin |
| Irritates skin or increases sensitivity | Causes hives, redness, itching. Long-term could lead to psoriasis, eczema or rosacea | Diminishes redness and sensitivities. Skin is calm and balanced, returned to a state of harmony |
Why skyn ICELAND?
Stress does not discriminate. It's an equal opportunity epidemic, affecting everyone in this high-octane, 24/7 world. You're familiar with how stress feels within — the palpitations, the nervous energy, the chronic worry. But how does it affect you on the outside? What happens to your skin when it's subjected to stress day in and day out? When stress is unrelenting, your hormone and chemical levels can spike, disrupting your body's natural, healthy balance. Plus, skin's natural immune function is impaired, so it's less able to heal itself.
skyn ICELAND skincare products are specifically formulated to counteract the detrimental effects of stress on skin. Since stressed skin is damaged skin, what it needs most is to be soothed, healed and replenished to regain its natural health and radiance. In Iceland's pure, untouched environment we discovered new beneficial botanicals and pristine Icelandic glacial waters, which helped us create the perfect antidote for stressed skin. We created our proprietary Bisopheric Complex made up of elements from water, earth, and air, which can be found in all skyn ICELAND products.™
