Your nervous system and skin are deeply connected. Stress doesn’t just affect your thoughts—it shows up physically.
Stress can:
Increase inflammation
Disrupt oil production
Heighten nerve sensitivity

What your body is saying:
“You’re under pressure.”
Better sleep, gentle movement, breathing exercises, and intentional downtime can significantly reduce symptoms.
