• HerbOcean Soundarya Tailam is an Ayurvedic oil made to bring balance back, make skin feel better, and soothe the mind.
• Daily rituals with this oil, meditation, and a healthy lifestyle can help keep your skin from ageing too quickly.
🌸 Opening
Stress is become a silent enemy of our skin. Our faces show the effects of mental stress, from dark circles to small wrinkles. Ayurveda has known about the connection between the mind and skin for a long time. Our HerbOcean Soundarya Tailam at Roshni Botanicals is made to deal with both the outside and within causes of ageing. Let’s look at how stress affects the skin and how Ayurveda can help in a natural way.
🧠 The Science Behind Stress and Skin Ageing
When you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol, which is also called the “stress hormone.” Over time, high cortisol levels: • Break down collagen and elastin, which causes wrinkles and drooping.
• Makes the skin barrier weaker, which causes dryness and irritation.
• Slows down the process of skin cell renewal, which makes the skin look dull.
• Causes inflammation and discolouration. Does stress make you get wrinkles?
Yes! Chronic stress speeds up intrinsic ageing (the natural process of ageing) and makes extrinsic ageing (damage from the environment) worse.

🌿 Ayurveda’s Take on Stress, Vata Imbalance, and Skin
Stress throws off the balance of doshas, especially Vata. This can cause: • Dryness and rough texture • Early wrinkles • A dull complexion • Restlessness and insomnia
This is why Ayurvedic stress relief focusses on oils, rituals, medicines, and other soothing activities.
