Every corner in life there always appears to be a stressful event. Whether you are getting ready to start a new year in school or taking the final tests that decides a years worth of work, marriage, job interviews, or health problems there are several different stressing factors. Stress can become highly noticeable through your skin, and show through your organism's health. These factors include hair loss, weight gain, weight loss, and most importantly acne and acne lesions.

Stress is considered one of the top leading factors that causes acne. There are other contributing factors such as inheritance, hormones, picking and squeezing lesions etc, but all of these things may be stress related. For example, when you are getting ready to initiate your menstrual cycle your body starts to stress due to an over production of hormones called estrogen. These over productions cause you to PMS and cause your organism to over produce a liquid called sebum.

Sebum is a naturally produced liquid that is created within the sebaceous gland and hair follicle. When your organism is at a normal balanced level and not over stressing then your skin produces a normal amount of sebum, as you stress your body goes into hyper mode and starts to over produce this lipid full liquid.

Also, hormones like testosterone for men and estrogen for women force the hair follicles to secrete more hair and more sebum oil.

Certain Stress Factors include:

Job stress- Working at a construction site using heavy belts or buckles that press on the skin causing your skin to over stress, also hard hats. Working as a cook over the head and greasy toxin ambience causes your skin to stress.

Subliminal stress- This is usually linked to adult stress, where the patient is unconsciously stressed out but doesn't realize so, this could require psychiatric help as well as a skin treatment.

Hormonal stress- Women suffer this one though out their life times, once a month at least because the menstrual cycle, or during a pregnancy. Often time's women develop acne after they go through metaphase too due to depletion of hormones. Men have some hormonal changes but this is usually just during adolescence.

P.C. Skin- Stress or trauma caused from positive charged electromagnetic waves emanating from a computer for as much as 8 hours a day. This condition commonly results in acne rosacea.

Teenage peer pressure- This may be considered the worst stress of all, the stress of growing up and becoming a teenage/adult. During the learning years this can induce psychological patterns that can reappear in later years.

There is no cure for stress, unless you are on great amount of tranquilizers, which any person can't function on. But there are remedies for acne. When the right treatment is applied on a daily basis a patient suffering from these different stress factors may enjoy clear skin during a time of daily worries.
