Tools from esoteric practices have long begun to permeate the beauty industry – both material ones such as crystals and incense sticks, and more spiritual ones, such as affirmations. Some claim that the stones help pump up female energy, while others claim that you can get rid of acne through meditations on YouTube.
TikTok users especially believe in the effectiveness of meditations. Under the hashtag #manifestingclearskin (6.9 million views), there is a series of videos explaining how you can heal your skin using just the power of your mind. Some suggest repetitions like “I have beautiful glowing skin,” while others suggest visualizing yourself with your dream skin. This approach is somewhat attributable to psychodermatology.
Psychodermatology is a branch of science that studies mental disorders with both dermatological and psychiatric symptoms. Recognize techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, and therapy to heal the skin from within.
How does it work? The doctor sees a patient with skin problems rooted in psychiatric or psychological stress. The mind-skin connection is most evident in reactions such as redness or irritation. But feeling emotionally sad can also lead to the release of cortisol (a stress hormone that can wreak havoc on the skin).
Usually, treatment in such cases is meditation and breathing practices that help cope with stress and therefore affect the condition of the skin. So it is really possible to meditate on ideal skin indirectly, but still a more proven and effective way is to seek advice from a dermatologist who will definitively tell you what is causing the unstable skin condition and how to deal with it.
