Did you know that stress can affect your skin? Stress from any source can generate harmful free radicals inside of your body and skin cells. When left unchecked, these free radicals can wreak havoc on your immune system, your skin’s microbiome and barrier function and more. They can damage vital molecules in your cells, including DNA, lipids and proteins. When free radicals overtake your cells it is called oxidative stress, a precursor for many major diseases.
