There is a known relationship between stress and acne. When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that can trigger your oil glands to produce more oil. This excess oil production can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Managing stress through techniques like exercise, meditation, and a healthy lifestyle may help improve your acne.
