It’s the holiday season once again. And with the preparation for Christmas and New Year…we usually get stressed out brought by Christmas shopping and attending parties.
Did you know that stress may aggravate acne? There are a lot of people are wondering why stress is related to acne. The increased levels of stress stimulate the body’s production of various hormones and trigger different changes in the skin. Sometimes it causes the skin oils to become more viscous making you more acne prone.
Stress also reduces your body’s natural immune defense and your skin doesn’t fight off bacteria build-up as well. When these happen, we become more prone to breakouts.
Acne begins when oil collects at the base of the hair follicle and becomes trapped by dead skin cells. Bacteria flourish, form a plug and swell beneath the skin. Stress can make acne worse, causing more anxiety, and creating a vicious cycle.
How to be stress-free this Christmas season?
1. Eat healthy foods.
Eating fruits and vegetable will keep you on-the-go. Everytime I celebrate Christmas, staying away from fatty meals which I balance my food intake.
2. Drink a lot of water
-I always see to it that I drink more than 8 glasses of water which makes me hydrate. Softdrinks and other beverages is prohibited at home.
3. More sleep everyday
-I usually slept 4-5 hours due to my workload. I always see to it that I took a nap every afternoon which re-energize myself from staying infront of my laptop for several hours.
