Practical Ways to Protect Your Skin From Stress
Stress doesn’t just affect your mental wellbeing—it can significantly impact your skin health as well. From acne to eczema flare-ups, psychosocial stress triggers the release of cortisol and other stress hormones that disrupt your skin’s natural balance. Thankfully, there are solutions that can help you manage both stress and its effects on your skin.
At Kumo® Skin Spa, we understand the stress-skin connection and have curated treatments and products designed to not only soothe the mind but also restore balance to your skin. Our approach targets the root of skin stress through both internal and external support.
Stress Relief Tonic: An Internal Solution to Skin Stress
Our Stress Relief Tonic is specially formulated to address the effects of stress on your skin and body. This naturopathic herbal blend works internally to:
Lower Cortisol Levels: The herbs in this tonic help to regulate your body’s stress response, reducing the overproduction of cortisol that leads to inflammation and weakened skin barrier function.
Support Skin Healing: Stress impairs your skin’s ability to heal. By promoting relaxation and supporting the adrenal system, this tonic helps your body repair and regenerate more effectively.
Balance the Microbiome: With the gut-brain-skin axis in mind, this tonic helps maintain a healthy gut, which plays a crucial role in managing skin health and inflammation.
Taking this tonic regularly can help combat the internal effects of stress, promoting clearer, healthier skin from the inside out.
Facial Treatments: External Solutions to Stress-Induced Skin Problems
We complement our internal remedies with expert facial treatments that specifically target stress-induced skin concerns:
The Buccal Massage: This signature facial massage is not only therapeutic for the skin but also deeply relaxing for the mind. By using sculptural techniques, this treatment stimulates the skin’s lymphatic drainage system, boosts circulation, and relieves muscle tension, all while reducing cortisol levels. It’s a perfect counter to the physical manifestations of stress, such as dull, congested skin or puffiness.
NeuroGlow® Alignment Ritual: This opening ritual, part of our facial offerings, incorporates neuropeptide stimulation to help reset the skin and release “molecules of calm.” It’s a powerful way to integrate both mind and body relaxation into your skincare regimen, giving you an all-encompassing glow from within.
Customized Facials for Inflammation and Barrier Repair: Our facials focus on restoring your skin’s protective barrier, using carefully selected ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid that help combat the damage caused by stress. We tailor these treatments to each guest’s unique skin needs, ensuring the best possible care.
