Are there signs to tell us that our skin is tired, stressed and needs rest?

Skin Fatigue happens when our skin is weary due to lack of sleep, unhealthy diets, stress and other environmental factors. This results in the skin showing signs of dark circles around the eyes, dull complexion, more visible fine lines, puffy eyes and parched skin.

Studies have shown that psychological stress and sleepless nights can inhibit the recovery of skin barrier function. Stress causes our body to release a hormone, Cortisol, which can cause increase in oil production in our skin glands and contribute to breakdown of collagen and elastic tissue, worsening skin conditions and delaying natural skin repair.
