Mind-Skin Connection

Is il possible for your skincare to communicate with your brain:

- SAKSTM RAWTE

Flushed cheeks after being complimented or goosebumps when walking alone on a secluded street at midnight are signals that our skin shares the same machinery as the brain.

Similarly, something as simple as applying a soothing facial oil after a long day can provide relaxation for the skin, which in turn positively influences the brain. Dr Howard Murad, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of his eponymous skincare brand Murad, has always equated skin health with brain health. He believes that caring for one system benefits the entire body because the skin and brain are interconnected. While skincare products are typically designed to improve skin health, a new category is emerging that aims to also nurture brain health.
