Breaking News: does stress get you hooked?

What are you doing reading this? Don't you have anything better to do? Are you taking advantage of every last nanosecond of your bathroom break at work?

Is it that…

Do you suffer from the “busy life syndrome”: that you have time for everything and in the end for nothing? Are every day deadlines for you? Does the feeling of wasting time when you are not doing “something useful” make you panic?

If you already know where things are going, we have your diagnosis: welcome to the club of addicts... to stress.

And before you tell us...

“But let's see, how can I be a stress addict, when if it were up to me I would be watching life go by from a sun lounger in Bali? What are you putting in the creams that you say weirder things every day...?”

stress gets hooked… a lot

It is studied and proven to be skeptic-proof.

Being busy, to the point that stress becomes our shadow, is a vice more absorbing than the TikTok algorithm on hangover Sundays.

Because?

Well, if you ask the experts, they will explain to you in all kinds of strange words that, when you get headlong into a stressful situation, your body releases a burst of hormones (cortisol aka the stress hormone, adrenaline, dopamine...) that They put like a motorcycle (not motomami) and turn you into a Terminator in survival mode:

Now, if you talk about it with your colleagues one afternoon over beers while you complain about this emotional roller coaster that is life, they will give you more commonplace explanations:

Because the world is going faster and faster.
Because that infinite loop of stress-pleasure is an emotional reinforcement more intermittent than the toxic one from your ex... and just as addictive.
Because they have imposed on us that we are worth as much as the things we do: overtime, weekend hobbies, projects outside of work hours, a social life as a micro-influencer...
Because, even if we are fully aware of this... we do not lower the level of the demands we impose on ourselves.

And do you know the consequenceof all this endless mental stress? Well, rather, the consequences, in plural:

The thousand and one (fucking) faces of living stressed 24/7

The list of consequences of prolonged stress is very long (and size does matter here): heart (and face) problems, digestive problems, headaches, drops in your immune system, memory, concentration, energy, increased risk anxiety, depression, burnout, self-sabotage...

And, be careful, the procession does not always go inside.

Stress also affects your skin, no matter how many creams you put on your face: deep dark circles , premature wrinkles, treacherous acne, slow-camera recovery from ex-pimple scars...

Wait wait wait. But what did you believe?

What were we going to make you read this far to list all the possible shits of stress like a pharmaceutical prospectus, as if you hadn't already tasted them in your flesh, and see you later Maricarmen?

Anyone would say that you don't know us yet...

How to Say “Sayonara, Baby” to Stress Addiction

The first thing of all is to realize that we are hooked to being stressed day in and day out. Is this trite advice? Yes, why? And just because of that it's going to be less #putoreal? No, why?
Ignore those super tips that sell you a new hobby as the only solution to all your stress... and for which you will also end up stressed: yoga/mindfulness/crochet/baking/lettering... Yes, they have more benefits than Actimel, but if you already live in a constant "I can't get my life", Less is more.
The procrastination thing, not so bad. Would it be so bad to spend some time on the couch watching Temptation Island instead of doing the washing, packing the tupperware for the next day? Give yourself the opportunity to put the responsibilities of daily life in “off” mode and then take on them with more enthusiasm.
About the purposes, soft soft. It's great that you want to beat yourself up in the gym, read more, meditate, eat better , spend less time on social media or whatever comes up. But about leaving expectations through the roof or beating yourself up when they are not met... not so much.
Let's go, If stress reigns in your life, declare the independent republic of self-care. It's time to reclaim your time to enjoy it, loving yourself for who you are and not just for what you do.

PS: And because sometimes it's time to take off the superhero mask that can do everything and more... Today's post is sponsored by our Heroes' Recharging Mask , the mask with a battery-recharging effect that in 20 minutes gives your face the effect of a 2 hour spa. 😜 Match that, toxic productivity.

We do cool right,
Siwon

🚨 Attention to all units. This is an emergency call, beibi. Man with skincare overdose. We need reinforcements.🚨

📣 Siwon, speaking: we are forced to release an urgent statement.

We are experiencing an avalanche of creampies:

With asset names more complicated to pronounce than IKEA furniture
With lists of ingredients that leave you more cross-eyed than the magic eye books from when you were a kid (memory unlocked)
With 'it's natural', 'clinical results', more is more...

Pure cosmetic gluttony, hey.

And in the end you, full of junk and without really knowing why.

For this reason, and to practice conscious cosmetic hedonism - few things, but with great taste and intention - we have prepared this guide with the richest and healthiest cosmetic vitamins for your face. We will touch it and expand it from time to time.

VITAMINS FOR YOUR SKIN

Vitamina A 🥕 'A'… de AA: Anti-Aging

What is it?
Some eat carrots in pairs. We are more into slathering ourselves in retinol, vitamin A in the form of a cosmetic active ingredient. It is the best known anti-aging: it reduces wrinkles, expression lines,…. Stimulates the renewal of your skin (Wolverine-style) by making the 'factory go into overdrive' to produce those things that are lost/slowed down with age: collagen, proteins, etc.

How does your face look?
Well, with a fresher appearance... cooler than James Dean in his younger years.

Where do I find it?
In our WOWYOUNG pro-aging night cream

Vitamin B (3) 💃 'B3'... good, pretty and beautiful

What is it?
Also known as niacinamide, it is the “anti-system” vitamin by nature: anti-spots, anti-inflammatory, anti-pimples, anti-redness and, therefore, anti-haters. It is such a democratic ingredient that it works for almost all skin types. (Yes, it turns out that niacinamide is more tolerant than Roy Galán.)

How does your face look?
Well, to touch your palms with joy when you look in the mirror.

Where do I find it?
In our Handsomefyer tuner

Vitamin B (5) 🙏 'B5' from… with hydration and lubricating I put it into you…

What is it?
If in this lottery that is life, you have had to deal with dry skin, tighter than Lomana every winter, panthenol or vitamin B5 is your ally in this tough battle.

How does your face look?
Hydrated, hydrated. In addition, there is some study that attributes some anti-inflammatory and regenerating action to your skin's natural barrier as if it were Easter Sunday.

Vitamin C 🍊 'C' Color of the sand of the Camino Rocero

What is it?
The most searched ingredient for Britney in 2007. It has many functions, but above all it stands out for providing luminosity to your face.

How does your face look?
Lola Flores said that “the shine in your eyes cannot be operated on”… but you won't find the luminosity that remains after using vitamin C in the morning, not even with the Kardashians' favorite surgeon.

Where do I find it?
It's also in our Handsomefyer all-in-1 tuner

Vitamin D ☀️ 'D' de Dame cremita

What is it?
The vitamin that comes from space. The one that warms you and brings out your colors. The taste of the sun on the face.

How does your face look?
Well, actually, getting tan... is secondary. Vitamin D helps more with the general health of the skin, hair, muscles... even teeth and bones. When you lack vitamin D, your body knows it.

Where do I find it?
Sunbathing but without going overboard. 10-15 minutes, 3 times a week (depending on your skin type) is more than enough. Don't act like that, otherwise you'll age faster and worse than Christopher Nolan's movies.

Vitamin E 🌊 'E' from mirror mirror…

What is it?
Vitamin E or tocopherol - we know, it sounds like a prison nickname, but the benefits of its use are much more enjoyable than scary -, it is an absolute antioxidant. And, if that were not enough, it is capable of extending the useful life of other cosmetic active ingredients: the little blue pill of skincare.

How does your face look?
Well, protected: from the weather, from pollution and from free radicals (which are not angry anti-system).

Where do I find it?
Well, for example in Dragon Shot , which in addition to leaving your face hydrated, you will notice that your shine disappears during the day.
