Take a moment for you and your skin.
The American Institute of Stress reports that 33% of Americans live with extreme stress (that’s 1 in 3). Stress causes a chemical response in your body, making skin more sensitive and reactive. It can also interfere with the skin’s ability to heal.
Stress causes your body to make more hormones like cortisol, signaling glands in your skin to produce more oil and in turn, acne. Stress can also aggravate psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. It can cause hives and other types of skin rashes and trigger a flare-up of fever blisters.
Here are a few tips to alleviate skin stressors:
- No matter how fatigued or stressed you are, don't neglect your skin.
- Avoid extremely hot showers to prevent damaging your skin and scalp. Opt for warm or tepid water instead.
-
Wash your face with a gentle soap and warm water, moisturize, and always wear sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher). We recommend CeraVe’s Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser and an EltaMD or Colorescience sunscreen of choice.
- Make sure that you wash your face before bedtime, ensuring clean skin that can breathe as you sleep as it aids in repair.
-
Use an evening serum and good moisturizer to awaken with refreshed, happy skin. We like iS Clinical’s Active Serum paired with SkinMedica’s Dermal Repair Cream.
-
Do something special for your skin, like a bubble bath, a gentle body scrub cleanser (i.e., Dove Body Scrub Cleanser), or something new to enjoy like SkinMedica’s Instant Bright Eye Masks (which also combat undereye dark circles and fatigue).
- Ensure that you get enough sleep. 7 – 8 hours each night is ideal.
- Drink plenty of water to energize and keep skin hydrated too.

Sunscreen 411: What SPF Should I Use and How Should I Use it? |
|
Everyone needs a good sunscreen! Here are a few tips from your SPF pros at Pima Derm:
• Use a broad-spectrum (UVB and UVA) sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 or greater.
• Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes prior to going outdoors.
• Reapply immediately after swimming and/or excessive sweating.
• Replace your sunscreen every year; be sure to check the expiration date on the container. If it has expired, you should replace it. Expiration dates can usually be found stamped on the container or embossed on the top edge of the tube.
• Don’t forget about your lips, back of your neck, ears, and the tops of your feet.
• There is NO such thing as a “water proof” or “sweat proof” sunscreen. Look for sunscreen that is “water-resistant”.
• If you work outside or spend a lot of time outdoors, we recommend a water-resistant sunscreen. These are also good for hot days or while playing sports because they are less likely to drip into your eyes when you sweat.
• If you have problems with sunscreen burning and/or stinging your eyes or skin, opt for one that contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide only.
• A complete sun protection regimen includes not only sunscreen, but also seeking shade, covering up with clothing including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• The best sunscreen is one that you like, that you will wear. Sunscreens, like EltaMD®, are fragrance-free, sensitivity-free, paraben-free, and have a vanishing zinc formula. Many sunscreens now come in tinted and non-tinted varieties.
