Stress is part of life—but it doesn’t have to take a toll on your skin.
In this episode of the Meder Beauty Podcast, I talk about how stress affects the skin on every level—from hormones and the nervous system to collagen, the microbiome, and skin barrier health. I explain why stress can trigger conditions like acne, pigmentation, sensitivity, or early signs of aging—and how we can gently support the skin to become more resilient.
I also share simple, science-backed ways to calm your skin’s stress response, including how activating the vagus nerve with cold water or breathwork (and yes, even love and oxytocin!) can help your skin stay balanced, calm, and radiant.
