Does Stress Cause Acne?
It had been a long debate on this question “Does Stress Cause Acne?” and now people believe that stress is one of the factor to produce acne particularly during puberty.
There was an experiment conducted by Stanford University once. College students had been closely observed, when exam time came, acne worsened. Which translates to the more stress faced by the students, the worse the acne.
Was the stress itself really the culprit of the worsened acne?
There were also possibilities that the students changed their behaviour in diet or sleeping during the exam period.
