How Your Emotions Affect Your Skin: Psycho-Dermatology + LOUM Beauty

LOUM Beauty is based on the premise that emotions influence our skin’s health and beauty. The brand ran the first-ever study examining the link between stress hormones and your skin, and the findings revealed how stress really does affect the skin negatively. This is due to the fact that the mind and the skin develop in the same cell embryologically and are therefore hard-wired together. Our skin feels and reflects our inner stress and imbalances more than any other organ in our body.

Psycho-dermatology examines the links between skin health and emotions, and how to restore balance between the two. The LOUM Beauty line of skincare was developed in partnership with Dr. Francisco Tausk, Professor of Dermatology, Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology at the University of Rochester and one of the world’s leading psycho-dermatologists. He helped create the skin-calming complex Tri Serene on which Loum is founded.

“Psycho-dermatology deals with the relationship between the central nervous system or the brain, the mind and the skin,” explains Tausk, adding that the conditions psycho-dermatology tends to focus on can be divided into somatopsychic (relating to the effects of the body on the mind) or psychosomatic. The latter means that the origin of the disease is the psyche and it manifests itself on the skin. There are certain diseases in dermatology that are much more prone to be affected by emotions and the mind, such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis, for example. And often these are diseases that get worse with stress.”

LOUM Beauty products aim at restoring calm in our minds and the skin. The products have a luxurious feel and are effective at reducing the skin’s dullness, unevenness, and other problems caused by stress hormones.
