Impact of Chronic Moderate Psychological Stress on Skin Aging: Exploratory Clinical Study & Practical Applications

GS120 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Speakers: Florante Ricarte, PhD and Caroline Walker, BS
We will present an exploratory clinical study that shows the impact of mild stress on key skin biomarkers and overall skin health parameters. In this talk, we’ll explore wellness not as a luxury, but as an essential foundation for those in caregiving roles. As nurses and healthcare professionals, we are trained to care deeply for others, yet the chronic demands of our work, combined with digital overwhelm and emotional fatigue, can quietly lead to burnout. This session invites you to reconnect with simple, restorative practices that support both body and mind. We’ll explore how to cultivate mindfulness through everyday rituals and use breath work and meditation to ground and recharge. We’ll explore the power of movement to shift energy and emotion. We'll also discuss the importance of time in nature, the need for digital boundaries, and how balancing screen time can help us stay present, clear, and connected. These are not indulgences. They are necessary practices that allow us to show up fully for our patients, our colleagues, and ourselves. When we care for the caregiver, everyone benefits.
