Stress does more than affect your mood — it can show right up on your skin, and here is exactly why.
Q: Can stress really cause acne?
A: Yes, stress raises cortisol levels, which can increase oil production and inflammation, leading to breakouts. Managing stress alongside a consistent skincare routine and regular facials can help reduce stress-related acne flare-ups over time.
