1. If you live a high stress/ high anxiety life then specialist beauty therapies can be your saving grace. Try IPL skin rejuvenation to help improve the appearance of rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, fine lines and poor skin texture.
2. Be prepared before a big stressful event and exfoliate a couple of days before as your senses will be heighted when you are stressed and will increase the chances of redness or itchiness.
3. If you notice a spot caused by anxiety cover with a medicated concealer or cool with an ice cube in a plastic bag to reduce hot inflammation prior to medicated concealer.
4. If stress tends to bring you out in sore, twitchy eyes and sties then cooled black tea is an instant reliever. The moment you feel the beginnings of eyelid irritation, make a cup of black tea, allow to cool and dab on the eyelid every few hours with cotton wool and feel the sty gradually disappear.
5. If you have made the wise decision to have a massage at times of high stress then decide if you need a relaxing massage or an intense deep tissue sports massage beforehand and be clear to your therapist about what your expectations are. Ask your partner or friend to give you a foot massage at the end of the day for a bonus treatment!
6. Try to watch what you eat, cutting down on fats and increasing carbohydrates promotes the production of beta-endorphins which is known to lift your mood.
7. Making a real effort with your hair or make up can positively affect your mood, by making yourself look great you can trick your body into feeling great too.
