Suffering from Acne can be very frustrating. I know plenty of teens who just want to scream every time a new one rears its unwanted head. But here's the catch – your emotions play a large part in the development of Acne. Getting angry, frustrated and stressed about Acne will make your condition worse.
Stress and anxiety causes major shifts in your body's chemistry. Stress can cause and is caused by depression, sadness, anger, disempowerment, lonliness, isolation, fear, anxiety and a variety of other negative emotions.
Stress changes your sleeping patterns and the way your body digests foods. It can not only trigger disruptive eating patterns such as under or over eating but your metabolism and central nervous systems themselves will react to your body chemistry, causing chemical and hormonal imbalances.
Our skin is often the first sign that stress is becoming a problem in your body. You will know yourself when you look at someone from a distance that their skin often reflects their mental state.
Being stressed then will not only worsen a pre-existing Acne problem but may also be the underlying cause of it. Relaxation then must be a key component in any Acne management system. Investigating relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or prayer is an important step to take. Being angry will just make the problem worse.
Many people have recovered from severe Acne problems just by following a simple meditation and relaxation routine. Being a teenager is stressful enough without getting even more anxious because you have Acne. All adults have survived going through this stage of life and you will too.
