Acne Stress Related - Does Stress Cause Acne?
Acne does not only occur by your eating habits and hormonal changes(in teenagers) but emotionally as well. If you're stressed out regularly, you have great chances in developing acne. When your body is under stress, your adrenal glands release the hormone cortisol into your blood flow. This isn't good.
As a result, your sebaceous glands are negatively affected and sebum is produced. Sebum is a sticky substance and this is how your skin will become oily. Your pores will be clogged by the sebum and acne will be formed on your skin. This is so true because I still remember during an exam in my tertiary education how I was really stressed out. My skin was starting to release sebum and become oily and I can feel that pimples are going to pop out soon because my skin was itchy as well.
Stress is part of our lives and we can't completely avoid it. What we have to do is to deal with it and combat it by improving our way of living like doing exercises, meditating, taking time to relax like having a warm bath, yoga, deep breathing techniques and listening to soothing music.
Also, if you can, go in nature say in the mountain, forest, near the sea or your own terrace where you can breathe fresh air. Early in the morning is best. It's also important to have a good night sleep everyday because people with lack of sleep tend to be nervous quite easily and stressed out fast.
In this hectic life, we tend to rush and hurry everyday to go to work, to school, college or university. What you need to do is always wake up a bit earlier so that you can take more time to do your morning activities. For instance, take your time to prepare a copious breakfast and have the required energy to deal with life demands. Don't get stressed out early in the morning.
So incorporate some anti-stress activities in your daily life and I am sure you will decrease the risk of triggering acne on your skin.
