ACNE: Acne and Stress - is it related?


ACNE AND STRESS

Can stress actually cause acne? There is ample evidence available
to suggest that stress can most assuredly cause an acne breakout.

Our bodies are highly developed chemical laboratories that produce
all sorts of stuff.

At puberty the body begins to produce an abundance of male
hormones...and this happens in both boys and girls.

This overproduction of male hormones can happen at other times
in life besides at puberty; for example when starting or stopping
birth control pills.

These male hormones cause the bodys sebaceous glands to shift
into overdrive and begin producing sebum. The sebum then travels up
hair follicles, clogs the pores and acne develops.

However, male hormones are not the only cause for the sebaceous
glands to begin producing an overabundance of sebum.

When we become extremely stressed our overly emotional, our bodies
will react by causing the adrenal glands to produce a substance
known as cortisol. Cortisol is released into the bloodstream.

Then the chemical chain reaction continues as the sebaceous glands
release sebum, the sebum travels up the same hair follicles, clogs
the pores and acne develops.

The physical changes in the body can cause exactly the same
chemical chain reaction as the emotional changes in the mind. The
mind/body connection is real.

Maybe some of it really IS in your head. If thats the case, there is
help available to help people deal with the acne that is caused by
stress.

Take a look at: Elf Cosmetics


Reducing stress will just naturally reduce sebum production
by the sebaceous glands and reducing sebum production will
help to alleviate an acne breakout.

It really isnt any different that restoring hormonal balance to the
body to reduce sebum production.

Both factors that cause excessive sebum production should be
addressed. Solving one problem might help. Solving both problems
could eliminate acne altogether.
