The stress hormone cortisol can cause skin to appear dull and lackluster. To prevent this, take time to relax and get plenty of sleep. Eat a nutritious diet full of antioxidants and drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated and glowing. Exercise regularly, too, as it can help to reduce stress hormones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, try to avoid touching your face too much, as this can spread bacteria and oils onto the skin. Eating a healthy diet, managing stress levels, and using quality products can help minimize breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Excess oil production<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
