Stress Badly Effects On Your Hair And Skin

Stress effects people differently. Having a stressful life, unfortunately it leaves bad signs on your skin and hairs.

Pankaj Chaturvedi, dermatologist and specialist hair transplant surgeon at “MedLinks, a centre for skin and hair treatment, shares what stress can do to skin and hair:

Hair loss

Due to stress, our blood vessels get constricted and the hair follicles are unable to get the required quantity of oxygen and other nutrients, which are necessary for hair growth. Lack of nutrients often leads to hair loss for various people who are stressed.

Acne On Face

Since our skin and mind are deeply connected; the moment stress hormones are released, oil production in the skin increases and leads to acne breakouts.

Ageing Signs

It is easy to identify people who are stressed because the signs of ageing such as wrinkles and dark circles start to show on their face much earlier than they should.

Here are some best ways to get rid of stress:

Sleep for at least eight hours. Lack of sleep makes a person cranky and irritable. Nothing can beat a good night’s sleep in releasing stress.

Get a nice massage. It will help to relax your body and open all the blocked energy channels.

Exercise for some time. It motivates you and lifts your mood. It helps to energies you and is the key to a healthy body.

Meditate for at least 15-20 minutes per day. You can do it any time, any place at your convenience. Sitting in peace can help you to focus your thoughts and help release stress.

Eat small frequent meals and eat healthy food. Some foods that are really good for busting stress include almonds, blueberries and salmon.

Boasting of a star studded cast which includes Hamza Ali Abbassi, Ahmad Ali Butt, Vasay Chaudhry, Javed Sheikh, Mehwish Hayat, Sarwat Gillani, Ayesha Khan, Sohai Ali Abro, Bushra Ansari and many others, the first trailer was enough to captivate the interest of the audience, which is only growing with time as more updates about the film have been released. The movie’s filming was completed last month, and is now in the important post-production phase. Humayunwill soon be seen on a nationwide Jawani Phir Nahin Aani promotional spree along with the rest of the cast members.

In the recently announced Lux Style Awards nominations for 2015, four plays produced by his production house Six Sigma; Pyare Afzal, Chup Raho, Shikwa and Marasim, have taken the lead. These plays not only bagged high TRPs, but also received a lot of critical acclaim internationally, owing to their unique story lines which beautifully highlighted various issues adversely affecting of our society.

Speaking about his upcoming movie Jawani Phir Nahin Aani and the announcement of Lux Style Awards nominations, Humayun says, “The past couple of weeks have been very exhausting with the extensive promotions of Bin Roye, but I am so glad our efforts paid off. The response that we have received from audiences here and internationally is very humbling. I have just gotten back to Pakistan, and now gearing up for the release of Jawani Phir Nahin Aani. Since I am also one of the co-producers of the movie, there are several responsibilities that I have to take care of. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all those involved in the production of Pyare Afzal, Chup Raho, Shikwa and Marasim for securing the nominations at Lux Style Awards. We at Six Sigma have always aimed at providing the audience with quality entertainment, and it feels great to be acknowledged by such a big platform”.
