Stressed Skin & Sensitivity
When stress shows on your skin
Stressed skin often appears dull, reactive, dehydrated, or inflamed. Elevated cortisol levels can weaken the skin barrier, disrupt oil balance, and increase sensitivity — making skin harder to manage and slower to recover.
Modern life places constant demands on the skin, from emotional stress to environmental exposure. When the skin’s natural defences are compromised, it struggles to maintain calm and clarity.
Menteath approaches stressed skin by supporting the skin barrier and helping restore balance, rather than overwhelming the skin with aggressive actives.
Common signs of stressed skin include:
-
Sudden sensitivity or irritation
-
Breakouts without a clear cause
-
Redness, tightness, or fatigue
-
Loss of glow or resilience
