Cortisol With Skin Why Stress Then Acne Up? 🧠

Have you ever noticed a lot of stress, a lot of acne, ðŸ˜Đ

Not imaginative - there's a mechanism really that explains, when we're stressed, the body secretes cortisol, which stimulates the sebums to produce more sebum → clogged pores → acne up.

Also, high cortisol makes inflammatory skin easier, slower recovery, and collagen breakdown faster than usual. How much skin care does not help if stress is still high.

Cortisol = stress hormone, stimulating sebaceous glands.

Very Sebum → Clogged Pores → Acne Inflammation

High Cortisol Makes Collagen Break Fast → Quick Skin Damage

Reduce cortisol: sleep enough + deep breath + reduce sugar

Skincare only helps surface - stress must be handled too

Manage stress = take care of the skin from the root cause, really. 💛

# Cortisol # Acne # stress # Skin # Take care of yourself

Stress affects your skin because it triggers the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that increases oil production, weakens your skin barrier, and slows healing. This can lead to breakouts, dryness, irritation, and flare-ups of conditions like eczema or psoriasis. #stressedskin #skincare
