Wonder Why Stress Makes Your Skin Breakout?

You may have always noticed that stress seems to quickly result in an unsightly breakout on your face. Well, a new study gets to the bottom of this unfortunate cause and effect.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that when people are under stress their skin is less able to fight off the bacteria that can result in a blemish.

I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise given that other research has shown that stress weakens the body's overall immune system as well as increases inflammation.

So for better skin and a healthy immunity you may want to chill out with exercise and deep breathing.

Skin's breakout is closely relative to one's situation of mood and eating food, especially for women.
