Chronic Stress Linked to Early Skin and Hair Issues in Younger Adults

Chronic stress affects both mental and physical health by disrupting hormonal balance, metabolism, and skin condition. Elevated cortisol levels can increase appetite, promote abdominal fat, and trigger acne, inflammation, and hair fall. Recent data indicates younger individuals, especially those aged 18-25, are experiencing stress-related skin issues earlier due to academic and social pressures. Experts emphasize recognizing early symptoms like weight changes, acne, and fatigue to manage stress and prevent further health complications.
