Why Stress Affects Your Skin
Stress isn’t just a mental burden—it shows up on your skin too. When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that increases oil production, weakens the skin barrier, and accelerates aging. This can lead to breakouts, redness, and dullness.
The good news? A mindful skincare routine can help. By incorporating stress-relieving products like HotChi’s mood-boosting facial oils, you can soothe your skin and calm your mind simultaneously.

- Lavender: Calms redness and irritation while promoting relaxation.
- Pomegranate Oil: Repairs damaged skin and reduces inflammation.
- Macadamia Oil: Hydrates deeply and strengthens the skin barrier.
