SKIN INDICATORS THAT REFLECT OVERALL HEALTH
Skincare guru Dr. Murad proclaims that “Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness.” The condition of our skin reveals a lot about our health and inner life. Because it’s our largest organ and a natural barrier that protects us, it can take a beating. If you’re dealing with anxiety or stress, you may notice that you’re breaking out more often or even that your hair is thinning. A stress rash can occur as an external indicator that our plates are too full and we need to step back a bit. Cold sores also pop up when our bodies are run down and we’re about to get sick. Strengthened immunity helps combat these pesky (and painful) outbreaks. Vitamin C and acupuncture are just a couple of helpful prophylactics, but Nabila K also has some natural treatments and goodies to soothe your skincare woes and protect your outer layer.
Some common problems, how to spot them and what to do…
What is cortisol face? Cortisol is a hormone that is released when we’re under stress, and it can manifest in our external appearance by causing facial inflammation, puffy eyes, and a rounded jaw. “Cortisol face is used on TikTok and other social media platforms to describe a condition where your face swells up from additional stress. It’s usually temporary and rarely—if ever—painful.” Other than being an indicator of excess toil, this cortisol buildup is usually harmless. Of course, if there are other symptoms that don’t subside, you should see a doctor. One way to combat this buildup of cortisol is to get up and move. Exercise gets you physically active and helps manage overthinking and analyzing; sometimes focusing on moving our bodies gets us out of our heads. It also aids in healthy circulation and blood flow. Proper sleep is also vital to cutting down on unwanted stress.
Managing anxiety that can cause rashes and hives isn’t the same for everyone, but we know for certain that a well-balanced diet, restful sleep, meditation, proper hydration, and talk therapy all can help significantly. Collagen loss is a normal part of the aging process. Because it is the most abundant structural protein in our body, it is noticeable when it wanes. Replenishing collagen is a way to age gracefully with healthy skin, hair, and joints. This means that we need to supplement our diets with proper topical products, vitamins, and nutrients to save our skin from excessive sagging and wrinkling. For taut, supple skin that glows, is never sallow, and looks radiant, one can take collagen peptide and powder supplements orally while boosting their routine with retinol and bakuchiol. Other topical options include Vitamin C and glycolic acid.
Skincare balms, salves, and lotions to ease tired, overly stressed skin/Nourish yourself with vitamin-rich skincare from Nabila K
The number one telltale sign of a fitful night’s sleep, insomnia, and/or worry is a tired complexion, usually with undereye circles and bags, red eyes, and pale skin. For a savior on those mornings when you’ve gotten less than forty winks, reach for Nabila K’s advanced eye repair serum. Luckily, there are other all-natural creams and elixirs that can help ease other symptoms (along with lifestyle adjustments, of course). Nabila K’s aloe-infused facial mist works wonders when a pick-me-up is needed and supplies hydration and healthy dew, while manuka honey renewal face oil helps rid the skin of bacteria that causes acne and other outbreaks. There’s nothing better for detoxing the skin than activated charcoal; it completely cleanses your complexion of harsh pollutants and other free radicals that can wreak havoc on your beauty. Hyaluronic Acid elixir—with kelp, seaweed, green tea, aloe vera, grapeseed oil, and radish root extracts—is rich in A, B, and E vitamins that soften and deeply hydrate our skin.
Psoriasis is a chronic condition where the skin becomes inflamed. While the origin isn’t completely understood, there are known triggers that can cause a flare-up, such as too much sun exposure, smoking, drinking, stress, dry and cold temperatures, certain foods, infections, and hormonal fluctuations. Some of the world’s greatest beauties infamously suffer from psoriasis (Kim Kardashian, for one), but there are topical ointments that have proven effective in quelling discomfort associated with the disorder. For instance, shea butter helps with restoring moisture to overly dry skin while turmeric acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. For a balm that contains turmeric, echinacea, chamomile, argan oil, and cocoa butter, try Nabila K’s Turmeric & Basil face polish.
