Experts now think stress could be just as ageing as sunbathing and the knock-on effect is a dull dry complexion etched with wrinkles. New research suggests when your stressed your body unleashes chemicals that make your skin think it’s under attack.

Since there aren’t any real 'attackers' the skin gets confused and starts to attack itself, damaging healthy skin cells (which explains why people 'age' overnight after a trauma like divorce or bereavement).

It doesn’t take years of stress to make a difference, either. After just two or three months of continuing stress, your skin’s collagen supports can be permanently damaged. This leads to wrinkles and faster ageing. To combat this you must reduce stress, whatever it takes, upping your intake of anti-inflammatory superfoods (like salmon, blueberries, peppers and broccoli) to help suppress the release of ‘attackers’. Secondly, have a facial or massage and invest in some of the new products that combat skin stress. They’re soothing and smoothing, so they’ll rebuild your skin’s structure and restore a more youthful appearance.

And finally try to get a good sleep. When we sleep, blood flow is at its peak, making skin more receptive to stress busting, boosting ingredients.
