So why does stress lead to a flare- up of spots?
When we are stressed, our body responds by increasing the production of the stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol is a vital hormone for helping us to survive when under pressure. It boosts our energy supplies by increasing the amount of glucose (blood sugar) in our bloodstream, enhancing the brain’s use of glucose and also increases the availability of substances that repair our tissues. However, cortisol also increases the oil production within our skin. This leads to the pores becoming more easily blocked and this then results in spots.
