Figure out what helps you de-stress, whether its exercise, knitting or laughing with a friend, and make it a regular part of your life. Chronic stress causes the stress hormone cortisol to remain elevated for long periods of time. In addition to suppressing your immune system and raising your blood sugar, cortisol can shift your body into break down mode so that its harder for skin to heal or repair easily. Constant stress can also cause an imbalance of hormones like DHEA and testosterone that have an impact on acne. Very stressed people tend to pick at their skin, making matters worse.
