When the body’s metabolism is slow, there is a reduction in blood circulation and cellular turnover. The skin’s natural renewal capability of every 28-49 days lengthens if the metabolism is slow. This causes dead skin cells to accumulate on the skin surface, making the skin look tired, dull and lifeless.
Skin appearing dry and dehydrated – Metabolism plays a role in maintaining the skin barrier and lipid production. When metabolic activity slows, your skin may produce fewer natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, and a compromised barrier. This is often linked with reduced levels of essential fatty acids and decreased hydration retention.
Sudden occurrence of adult acne or skin breakouts – Imbalance in the hormones namely insulin and androgens are directly associated with a poor metabolism. Individuals suffering with insulin resistance have more sebum synthesis, that may trigger unexpected adult acne. Also more acne onset, of severe nature, is linked with high glycemic index foods’ consumption and poor metabolism.
