In this presentation, the speaker explains that stress—interpreted as a feeling of unsafety—triggers physiological pathways that impair skin health. Stress activates the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing cortisol, which directly influences skin cells and hair follicles, contributing to increased sweating, inflammation, and accelerated skin aging. A table extracted from a recent paper illustrates cortisol’s specific actions on skin structures. The speaker emphasizes that any form of stress slows the body’s healing processes, linking stress, inflammation, and skin aging in a unified framework.

She's probably why people sweat when they're stressed. We know that if we have stress, we heal more slowly.
