Stress Related Acne

Many people know that acne usually appears becaus of hormonal changes and eating habits. Few people know that acne can also be emotional. If an individual runs through a period of time that is filled with stress then that guy/girl might develop acne. The body reacts to stimulation and psychological conditions. If you are under stress the adrenal glands will immediately react to release cortisol (a hormone). As an immediate result you will get the sebaceous glands affected and sebum will be produced. It is a sticky substance that makes your skin oily. Acne will thus develop because pores will be clogged with sebum. Such conditions are usually seen in the case of students that are constantly stressed during exam sessions.

The bad thing is that we can not avoid stress. It is a part of everyone's life and the only remedy is improving our life through miditation, relaxation, doing exercises, listening to music or whatever makes us relax. Make sure you have a good night's sleep. Reduce stress to a minimum in order to reduce the risk of getting acne. Nobody wants to see a college guy or girl with a great body and full of nasty pimples.
