Stress can indeed contribute to acne. When you are under stress, your body releases cortisol, a stress hormone, which can increase oil production in your skin and potentially lead to breakouts. Additionally, stress weakens the immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off acne-causing bacteria. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle may help improve acne symptoms.
