Acne and stress: what's the link and how to fix it?

Let's not kid ourselves: between endless deadlines, social media, and everyday unforeseen events, our skin takes a beating too! 😬 Have you noticed spots appearing just before an important interview or a first date? It's no coincidence. Acne and stress are indeed linked. So, how can you effectively combat stress acne ? That's what we're going to see together, in a fun, educational, and above all, ultra-practical tone!

What is the link between acne and stress?

Spoiler alert: stress isn't just a state of mind; it has real biological consequences on our bodies. When we're stressed, our bodies produce cortisol, the stress hormone. This hormone, in turn, stimulates the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands.

The result: skin becomes oilier, pores become clogged, and... boom, hello pimples! 💥 This phenomenon is particularly visible on areas of the face that are sensitive to stress : forehead, temples, jaws, and neck. Do you suffer from stress acne on the face ? You're not alone!

Another point: stress also weakens the skin barrier and stimulates inflammatory reactions. This is why stress-related acne is often red, painful, and can even leave marks.

How to recognize stress acne?

It's not always easy to know if your pimples are related to stress or something else. Here are some clues:

• Sudden appearance during tense periods (exams, life changes, etc.) 📅

• Pimples located on the temples, chin and jaw 👁️

• Significant inflammation (red and painful spots) 💥

• No clear dietary or hormonal explanation 🤔

If you recognize yourself in this description, there is a good chance that you suffer from adult acne stress .
