Explore Hormones-Skin-Stress Triangle

What's Included?

Did you know your brain and skin are basically texting each other all day? Yep, according to Harvard research, the brain-skin axis is a two-way street where stress in your head shows up on your face (and not in a cute way). When you're stressed, your body activates the HPA axis—a hormonal drama queen that releases cortisol and other inflammatory hormones. These little troublemakers stir up skin issues like itchiness, breakouts, and irritation by sending immune cells to your skin. But it doesn’t stop there! Stress also messes with your epidermal barrier—your skin’s “moisture lock” and first line of defense. Once it’s disrupted, you’re more prone to dryness, irritation, and even stubborn conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Bottom line? Stress isn’t just in your head; it’s in your skin too. In this masterclass, we’ll explore practical techniques to break this cycle, restore your skin’s natural balance, and keep your glow intact.
