Have you ever noticed how when\u00a0you’re\u00a0stressed, your skin starts to flare up? This might be with\u00a0a breakout, rosacea\u00a0or flushes\u2026 but there\u2019s no doubt there\u2019s a link between the mind and the skin.<\/p>\n

Stress<\/a> can aggravate any skin condition. \u2018Generally, the mind and skin are very closely linked<\/em>,\u2019 explains Dr Anthony Bewley, a consultant dermatologist who specialises in psychodermatology & Chair of Psychdermatology. <\/a>\u2018If you get stressed, it can lead to skin problems, and skin problems, in turn, lead to stress.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n
