There is truth to the popular statement “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!”
It can sound a little cliché; however, everything seems to look and feel better when you’re in a good mood and it boosts self-confidence. Your skin. Your hair. Your makeup.
Think about it. When you’re not feeling like yourself for whatever reason – you don’t feel great, a recent disappointment, time of the month, or not enough sleep – the physical signs are obvious. Your hair looks dull, dark circles are obvious, your skin may be starting to show signs of acne, uneven tone and discoloration. And, when you aren’t feeling good, stress levels rise, causing these internal and external changes.
Plus, we tend to neglect ourselves and our daily routines. Admit it, there are days when you let your hair go one more day before washing it, skip a shower or go to bed with a full face of makeup. Low moods cause us to push aside our important daily regimens and self-care. Not good! Dirt-filled pores lead to acne breakouts and other skin conditions like Keratosis Pilaris, caused by clogged hair follicles, flare up.
When we are a good mood and have “all the feels,” we release happy hormones like serotonin and endorphins. These hormones help keep the blood and oxygen flowing and give you that healthy-looking glow as well as support the production of collagen and elastin. In other words, stop frowning, slow down the sagging.
