Stress releases hormones that help the body respond to danger, and they become harmful when the body stays in fight or flight mode. When these high levels of stress hormones are consistently in the body, they begin to damage skin health.
Stress + Aging
The primary stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, constrict blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the skin, preventing the production of collagen and supporting its breakdown. Collagen is the protein that makes the skin firm, smooth, and toned, so without it, the skin begins to sag and form lines and wrinkles.
Featured in all AKAYSKIN treatments is a facial massage. The benefits are not only to promote relaxation but to stimulate circulation and blood flow, allowing the skin to receive the oxygen and nutrients needed to produce collagen.
AKAYSKIN Advanced Collagen Complex builds collagen, elastin, and cytokines that have been diminished during the aging process. This complex also increases angiogenesis to improve vascularization and circulation.
Stress + Acne
The stress hormone, cortisol, is known to trigger the sebaceous glands to increase oil production making the skin more prone to breakouts. Oil is necessary for skin health, but too much can create blockages in the pores, resulting in blackheads, papules, and pustules. Stress also increases inflammation and weakens the immune system, making the skin unable to fight the acne causing bacteria.
Clarifying Correction is the advanced acne treatment at AKAYSKIN. This treatment consists of chemical exfoliation to remove the dead skin cells contributing to clogged pores, manual and ultrasonic extractions, high frequency to kill all acne causing bacteria, LED light therapy to reduce inflammation and support the skin’s immune response, light facial massage to stimulate blood flow and promote healing, and oxygen infusion to oxygenate the skin and clear pores.
Key acne fighting ingredients featured in Clarifying Correction: Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Vitamin A, Glycolic Acid, and Sulfur.
Stress + Dry Skin
Stress causes the body to sweat and produce less hyaluronic acid, leaving the skin dry and dehydrated. Cortisol weakens the skin’s barrier and causes transepidermal water loss, making the skin vulnerable to infection.
AKAYSKIN Hyaluronic Acid Serum is pure hydration for the skin. When applied topically to damp skin, it allows the body to absorb moisture and lock it in, preventing transepidermal water loss. Hyaluronic Acid Serum will also increase the body’s natural production, optimizing skin health.
Stress + Under Eyes
When the body is under stress, it directs the blood to essential organs in order to protect itself, taking the essential blood flow away from the face. This lack of blood flow causes the vessels under the eyes to become more noticeable and fluid to build up beneath the lower eyelids, forming dark circles and puffiness.
