Stress-related hormones, such as adrenaline & cortisol, damage cell walls allowing precious water to escape. This stress-induced water loss causes our cells & connective tissue to break down, which prevents our organs from functioning at optimal levels. This becomes visible in the skin (our largest organ) and contributes to common skin problems such as acne, rosacea & even premature signs of ageing.
