If you think there is no connection between our state of mind and our appearance – think again. Everything that happens to us on the inner level reflects on our body. The quickest solution is to work on our appearance, while it takes time to figure out that everything comes from within. The way we look can be significantly impacted by our life decisions, choices, habits, and inner peace and happiness. And that’s where mediation comes into play.<\/span>

Mindfulness vs Meditation<\/h2>\n

Being in the present moment and accepting your feelings without being judgmental or overly anxious is called <\/span>mindfulness<\/b>. Being mindful also means being aware of your breathing and physical sensations. You are wholly engaged in the “now.” A technique or practice used to develop mindfulness is <\/span>meditation<\/b>. The practice of meditation can help you become calmer, focus on being aware, and attain emotional equilibrium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Effects of Stress on Skin<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Since the mind and body are interconnected, stress and emotions can have a significant impact on the skin. When we experience stress, our body releases hormones, such as cortisol. The right cortisol balance is essential for our health, while producing too much or too little can be harmful. Producing too much cortisol under stress can trigger inflammation and skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Excess cortisol can lead to sensitivity, sagging, dryness, dullness and various aging signs. It also ramps up the activity of the sebaceous glands, causing the skin to produce more oil, which leads to blocked pores and breakouts. Another notable consequence is skin barrier dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n
