When it comes to stressing you out, there is nothing worse than a big zit on your chin before an important presentation or event. And because a face full of breakouts worsens your stress, a vicious cycle ensues.
In response to stress, our bodies produce excess cortisol, a hormone that is designed to help the body respond with the classic “flight or fight reaction” to a threatening event. Too much cortisol leads to a myriad of health problems, including acne.
So, while we know it is difficult in the moment, our advice is to take a series of deep breaths, relax and don’t forget to exercise for endorphin release. In the big scheme of things, the zit on your chin is not life threatening and if you can keep it in perspective you will have fewer blemishes to worry about.
Try and relax and enjoy your day!
