Stress has a profound impact on acne, leading to increased sebum production and inflammation. This occurs because stress triggers the release of cortisol, which can disrupt the skin's natural balance and make it more vulnerable to acne-causing bacteria. Furthermore, stress can lead to changes in behaviour, such as neglecting skincare routines and consuming unhealthy foods, which further exacerbate the problem. However, managing stress through techniques like mindfulness and exercise can mitigate these effects and improve overall skin health. Recognising the connection between stress and acne allows for a more holistic approach to treatment, combining traditional medications with stress management strategies. Hosted on Acast.
