3) Redness

Stress can cause the body to produce more of the hormone cortisol, resulting in increased blood flow to the skin’s surface. This can lead to facial redness and inflammation. To manage redness caused by stress, take time to relax and practice breathing techniques. Also, use mild skincare products that won’t irritate the skin.

4) Excess oil production

When stressed, the body can produce more oil than usual, resulting in a greasy complexion and clogged pores. It is important to cleanse and exfoliate the skin regularly to help manage oil production. To further regulate oil levels, try using products with salicylic acid or witch hazel. Products with tea tree oil can also be effective in combating oil.
