Acne Treatments - Dealing With Stress
Living with acne can be a stressful time, I know, i have suffered for over 10 years with acne.
The social stresses that come with having acne can lead of another side effect, depression.
So it is very important that you learn to deal with stress to help prevent acne.
Not only will you help yourself get acne free but you will also increase your quality of life.
Although there has not yet been a direct connection between stress and acne there is a general consensus that stress can promote acne.
When you get stressed the body releases glucocorticoids which are a class of steroid hormones.
There is a general agreement that these steroid hormones lease to an increase in sebaceous gland production help to promote acne.
What happens then is the acne sufferer develops a circle in which they are trapped.
Stress from acne > Stress promotes acne > stress from acne.
So, it is important to tackle stress as one of your acne treatments.
Biofeedback is a great way to help decrease your stress It uses highly tuned music to works with certain brain states including alpha, beta, theta, delta and gamma.
These all have different functions and it is the theta and delta that are the best for decreasing stress.
Biofeedback can serve as a good way to get into meditation or just to put on the headphones and drift away.
There are of course many other ways in which you can decrease stress.
I will look at these in further posts.
Again, to remind you that decreases your stress will not cure your acne but it will be an additional factor in which you can use as your fight to break free.
Good luck
