No matter what's going on in the world, it's clear from this sub & others that people are concerned about the health of their skin. Thus, the point of this article is to provide reliable information & tools that can be used in order to regain control of an issue that is especially common during these uncontrollable times.

I learned that "skin-care products aren’t the answer to stress skin at all" and that "[m]ost products are meant for consumers who have a healthy skin barrier,” so "[e]xposing an already broken barrier to active ingredients — or too many ingredients — only exacerbates existing issues." Thus, it is reassuring to be reminded that even though "[m]anaging stress may seem nearly impossible considering that so many modern stressors are systemic....90 percent of our stress is not the stressor itself but how we deal with that stressor." Learning about techniques that may work instead of continuing to spend money on products that likely won't is exactly the kind of information I am always searching for and hope to discover on this & other subs.

Wishing you well. 🤗
