So you thought it was only your age and diet that was responsible for all the fine lines and acne? Look deep at your emotions as they are not doing any good either. According to Dr Mohan Thomas, world’s leading cosmetic surgeon and MD, The Cosmetic Surgery Institute, Mumbai certain skin conditions like acne, fine lines, eczema and dermatitis are a result of your mental health.

Anger can cause a lot of havoc on your skin. If you are short tempered and constantly frowning, your facial muscles get affected leading to fine lines and wrinkles.
3/7
Embarrassment can exacerbate acne issues. Also, when you are embarrassed, the rate at which the enzymes are produced altered. This can lead to skin pigmentation and even premature hair loss.
4/7
Hate: When you hate someone, you are in a constant state of anxiety. An ongoing bout of anxiety causes levels of adrenaline and cortisol to stay high in the body ultimately leading to acne.
5/7
Frustration: When you are frustrated and always stressed there is a heightened production of cortisol which affects your facial cells and weakens the facial blood vessels leading to ageing. If you are already suffering from acne and eczema, your condition may worsen with stress.
6/7
Sadness: You constantly frown when you are sad or depressed. Frowning all the time can lead to wrinkles especially around the sides of your eyes. Depression and lack of sleep can also lead to puffy and baggy eyes.
7/7
Fear: When you fear, there is an adrenaline rush. Due to this, your muscles are tensed, and your skin reaches a state wherein it loses your natural firmness and folds begin to appear.
