Many skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, hives, rosacea, eczema, and herpes simplex can be traced back to stress-related causes and other emotional factors. Psychodermatology or Psycare as it is called today is the study of the relationship between our mind and skin. Dermatologists look at how skin conditions can affect mental health and how stress can affect our skin.
What is Psychare?
According to a survey published in January 2022, when asked “what areas will be important to you in the next 12 months?”, the answer given by 65% of respondents was “ mental well-being ” and “ stress and sleep management ”.
In a scenario of political tensions, wars and climate emergency, the concept of holistic beauty is becoming increasingly important. It is no wonder that pathologies related to stress and sleep disorders are on the rise. This situation leads to a new meaning of beauty that is evolving towards a definition focused on psychological well-being.
People today are looking for beauty products that offer an experience that goes beyond aesthetics and that can improve their psychological health, deal with stress and calm the mind from anxiety and worries.
For this phenomenon, the term Psycare, or care of the psyche, was coined by Beautystreams , a platform that analyses trends in the cosmetics sector.
