Face has noticeably aged since becoming a nurse. Anyone else?

Published

I have been a nurse for one year total. I’m in my mid 20s and my face has aged a LOT in this first year. I know it’s probably to do with the amount of sleep I get and the amount of stress I’ve endured as a baby nurse. Had anyone else also physically aged in a short amount of time? I put on makeup for the first time in a long time yesterday which made my huge pores, baggy eyes, and fine lines in my forehead pop. I’m now frantically searching for skincare products. ?

I'm a new grad so I'm not even a baby nurse yet, but during nursing school with the breakouts and terrible stress, I made it a point to go get a facial with a trusted esthetician both for my skin and mental health! Also, I practice a lot of yoga and exercise which helps my skin glow. Eating right and drinking water does wonders. As far as actual products I love naturium brand at target for affordable prices and sheet and eye masks for the days when my skin needs extra TLC.

More stress, less sleep could really age us. First the skin and then the weight!
