As we get older, our ability to recover from the effects of stress cortisol decreases, and the hormone lingers for longer periods in the body. Stress is toxic for the immune system and has an ageing effect, damaging the skin’s collagen and natural moisture levels. When stressed the body produces adrenaline. Too much adrenalin decreases blood flow and diverts nutrients and oxygen away from the skin, which allows toxins to build up, leading to problems such as breakouts and cellulite.
