Your skin is a mirror of your mind. As a dermatologist, I’ve seen how mental health and skin health go hand in hand. Stress hormones (like cortisol) increase oil production and inflammation - induce acane and flare-ups. Anxiety can trigger or worsen eczema, hives, or even cause scratching out of habit. Low mood can lead to skipped routines or poor sleep—resulting in dull, tired-looking skin. Better mood = better habits = better skin. Your emotional well-being is part of your skincare. Whether it's stress-induced acne, psoriasis or anxiety-linked eczema, addressing both makes a world of difference. Be gentle with your skin. Be kinder to your mind. #SkinAndMind #MentalHealthMatters #DermatologistApproved #SkinPositivity #SkincareWithHeart
