So cortisol is having its 15 minutes of fame…
But you want to know what doesn’t reduce cortisol and can even increase it?
Worrying about having high cortisol.
Yes, too much cortisol is not good.You know that.
And you certainly know what too much cortisol does to your face, don’t you?
You’ve looked in the mirror after spending a week at the beach, and you’ve looked in the mirror after spending a week with your mother in law.
You know what you saw...
❌Puffy face
❌Premature lines and wrinkles
❌Dark circles
So here are a few things that will actually help reduce cortisol (hint: not a drink or pill)
I mean let's start by not being bombarded with all of the horrific things happening all over the world every minute of every day.(I'm talking about social media, people... there’s a whole world out there that’s not on your phone.)
Getting great sleep
Talking a slow walk in nature (or a walk on the beach!)
Breathing exercises
Using non-toxic skincare(toxins in skincare increase your stress burden, disrupt hormones, and nervous systems)
Prayer and meditation
Rescue a dog (I’m serious! Research clearly shows that time spent with pets reduces cortisol levels.)
Do more of what you LOVE! (dancing, singing, roller skating, quilting, cornhole, etc!)
