For the past few years and today more than ever, mental health and self-care have been identified as rising trends in our societies and especially in cosmetics.
People want to see the beauty industry focusing more on making them feel better, than just looking better, and say that using beauty products help to feel better, to improve self-esteem or to reduce stress.
An increasing number of scientific studies established a bidirectional link between skin/hair aspect or disorders and the psychological state of people. Skin and hair are the most noticeable parts of our body and thus important for self-image and mental health (Chen and Lyga, 2014; Jafferany, 2007).
Skin has revealed itself to be a complex organ involved in multiple neuro-immuno-endocrine functions, connecting skin and brain, and involved in many skin and hair functions (Huang and Rompolas, 2020; Nejati et al., 2013).
