Relax and beat acne

Relax and beat acne

Stress can trigger or worsen acne, especially in women. Controlling anxiety limits the release of the hormone cortisol and therefore helps reduce acne. So try relaxation methods to stop stress before it happens.

Take time to chill out, read a book, go for a walk? whatever it takes. But one of the best ways is to laugh. It's fun, it's free, scientifically proven to work and comes naturally to us!
