I want to thank everyone who wrote me a DM saying they enjoyed the In-Cosmetics NYC video with Doctor Claudia on stress and acne. Now, I just wanted to put some things into context. A little stress is good for us.
Stress is our brain telling our body to prepare for danger… That’s a good thing. If you piss mom off and she has a chancla in her hand, you’d better run like your life depends on it. Córrele! (For those of you not in the know, it’s the Mexican equivalent of RUN LIKE HELL).
Here’s how your body responds and gets you ready to“fight or flight” from mom...or other dangerous creatures👺👻🐅. It starts by releasing hormones like epinephrine, basically an adrenaline rush, and also norepinephrine. Our heart starts to beat rapidly, oxygen is re-routed to the brain, helping us think clearer and faster, our pupils dilate to improve our vision, and the levels of sugar increase in our blood so our muscles can spring into action! You exhibit superhuman strength and reflexes, deflecting that chancla right before it hits you in the face! See! An acute stress response CAN be good for you!
But all of this takes A LOT of resources. Your body handles this by slowing non-critical body functions like digestion, wound healing, reproduction and even your immune system🦠. These side effects are not harmful if they continue for a few minutes or hours, but if the stress persists for weeks or months, it begins to wreak havoc on your body and skin.
