Stress is considered one of the main culprits when it comes to acne, especially in adults. This happens because, when your body is stressed, the increase in stress hormones. There is a link between acne and stress, and research has proven this connection. According to www.acne.org “when we experience stress, our adrenal gland goes into overdrive". Androgens (male hormones), which this gland produces, increased. Higher androgen levels can lead to more acne. This is especially true in women, who produce a much larger percentage of their androgens in the adrenal gland than men. This may explain why stress seems to affect women more than men when it comes to acne.

Daily Skin Care

Just reducing stress won't clear up acne completely. To do that, you'll need a good over the counter acne treatment (if your acne is mild) or, even better stronger products or, a prescription acne medication. It's also very important to cleanse your skin every day, say dermatologists.

Follow these easy steps:

1.    Wash your face no more than twice a day.

2.    Use cool or warm water and a gentle cleanser.

3.    Use your hands, a baby washcloth (it's gentler than a regular one)

4.    Try to leave your skin relatively untouched. It is vitally important that you do not pick at your skin. Many dermatologists contend that scars are really more from picking than from the acne itself. Occasional popping can often be performed quickly and safely. It is the picking afterward that often leads to the worst scarring.

5.    Exfoliate your skin and wash your acne away. Exfoliating helps fade your acne marks faster by shedding old skin and bringing new skin to the surface.  The fresher the post-acne mark, the brighter color. Once some of the bright red fades from the acne mark, you can start using an exfoliating treatment. Try Acdue Hydrating Wash – Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser by Omiera Labs.
