Research reveals how a three-step skincare routine can reduce stress

According to research by beloved skincare brand, Rodan + Fields, a simple three-step skincare routine can reduce stress.

A study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology and was carried out by a team of experts, including Rodan + Fields' brand founders, Katie Rodan MD and Kathy Fields MD, who studied 30-acne prone women, aged 18 to 45.

During eight weeks, the women adhered to a three-step skincare routine twice a day that included antioxidants, electrolytes, prebiotics and a sunscreen. Saliva samples, along with clinical grading and TEWL measurements, were taken at baseline and at week eight to measure results. Subjects also completed a questionnaire regarding their skin quality at the beginning and end of the eight weeks.

The results that stood out to the research team were that cortisol levels decreased from an average of 435 ng/dL at baseline to 73.3 ng/dL, which is a huge reduction in stress levels.

However, this wasn’t the only improvement the team observed. They also found the routine created a clinical improvement in a healthy glow, and 76% of the subjects felt more confident about posting a selfie at the end of the study, compared to 53% at the beginning. The women also noted their skin looked “less stressed and less reactive,” and revealed they felt more in control of how their skin looked.
