How Stress Affects Your Skin
Psychodermatology, a form of treating skin disorders by using psychological techniques, is now heading mainstream. Dr. Amy Wechsler, a dermatologist with a dual degree in dermatology and psychiatry, even wrote a book called The Mind-Beauty Connection. She also created a niche in Manhattan’s uptown area fueled by the wellness culture. It seems consumers these days are connecting the dots between emotions and skincare. It’s as if a lightbulb has gone off, and many start to claim that if they take better care of themselves, they not only feel better but look better as well.
