How can i reduce a stress breakout?

Question

I always break out when its closer to exams or when im really stressed

Answer 1

Treat these breakouts like any other, with Benzoyl Peroxide and Salyclic Acid. Keep your hands off of your face and lacerate if you must. Queen Helene Mint Mask works wonders, as does Oxy Vanishing Cream (10% BP).

Answer 2

same problem with me, it always happens in the worst moments! unfortunatly there's no way of stopping it but I started to do yoga and it really helped I don't breat out as much anymore. I also go the day before exams or watever to a salon or spa, or something I feel comfortable to (my personal favourites ice-skating it really helps relieve stress). I found the spa and ice-skating best, try having a massage!! You just need to make your day as stress free as possible chill out with mates? or do something fun and exciting that will make you forget about your worries. And before you go to bed have a big cup of hot chocolate and listen to one of those tapes you can get that make relaxing sounds and you should drift of to sleep stress free. This has really helped me and I feel so much better for it. And at the end of the day, by getting all stressed and worried is it really going to help anything? is it really gonna create a miracle? NOOO!! so just chill out girl! and have some fun!
good luck and best wishes

Answer 3

Drink a lot of water and wash your face at least twice daily. I wouldn't put lotion on it, since some lotions clog pores and make breakouts more likely. Also try to avoid the temptation to eat junk food, which we have all done when we get stressed.
