Stress

Element Name: Stress [noun]

Cause: bad to skin and hair

Effect: not leng leng dy..

It is by research that stress causes skin problems.. well it causes or exacerbates a lot of problems, but I just want to pinpoint on how stress causes our oily skin and scalp.. bad bad 'chemical'..

I know u must be thinking that stress can be good as a motivational and inspirational agent, i dont deny that, yes it can be good if we know how to use it to make things happen positively. fortitude.

However extreme stress hormones that overflows into our system can adversely affect us mentally and physically, i think it's called mind-body physiology.. and that includes our skin and hair.

Studies have illustrated that when u are under extreme stress, there is an increase in the amount of androgen production. When androgen is activated, the sebaceous glands pumps out more oil/sebum. Stress could come from anything mentally or physically or chemically.. im not sure if u could be stress out of nothing. Hence disgusting oily skin.. big pores.. 'shiny' t-zone..

In addition, and due to stress, the circulation in the scalp is so constricted that the hair follicles lost blood supply.. then u'll notice hair will atrophy and fall out. well.. sometimes it often grows back when u are no longer under extreme stress, but dont be too happy yet..

If u have continuous extreme stress that u leave unmanaged or cannot manage, u are actually working ur adrenal glands to exhaustion. Hence, skin and hair problems become apparent.. because hor.. u r constantly shutting off the blood supply to ur heart and lungs, diverting it away from feeding and nourishing.

Now u know why stress can uglify a person.. because of stress and become not leng leng, not worth oh.. so far, i guess there's no treatment yet to completely stop or prevent sebum production, but there should be a lot of remedy in combating stress.. im still researching haha but i've some suggestions here~
