STRESS CAUSES ACNE

Though this claim is exaggerated but still it is based on a reality. Stress does not cause acne but it triggers the existing breakout. If the body is suffering from stress it starts to produce cortisol. This causes the sebaceous glands to produce excessive oil. The response of stress varies from individual to individual. So it is difficult to gauge the effect on the skin. It is important to remember that good stress like excitement of wedding or eagerness of going somewhere for the first time also triggers stress response. The best treatment is to keep a check on your own skin’s response. One must try to spend some time daily for feeling happy and relaxed.
