Stress And The 10 Truths Behind The Damage It Causes

Unhealthy Hair, Teeth, And Nails

Stress causes hormonal imbalances that may affect blood flow to the skin, which can negatively influence the appearance of teeth, skin, and hair. Studies have linked stress to skin conditions such as eczema, acne, hives, psoriasis, and rosacea. Stress may also contribute to hair loss, dull hair, gum disease, and frail, brittle nails, as well as thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism, which may result in dry or oily skin. Hair that falls out easily is a sign of stress.
