Stress & Acne

Hormones are a normal part of being a teenager, so acne can be part of that journey too. But I don't believe the answer should simply be, "They'll grow out of it." We might not be able to control the hormonal fluctuations happening during puberty, but we can support the skin through them.

In my experience, stress is one of the most underestimated acne triggers. I see it constantly in clinic. A client’s skin will be improving steadily… then something stressful happens, and within days, new breakouts appear - and these are often deeper, angrier and slower to heal.
