Lately researchers have proved what acne suffers have know all along -
stress either causes acne or at least makes it worse.
Since the skin is the boundary between what is within the body and
what is without, it becomes a sounding board for what is going on
inside the body.
The skin is also the interface with which our mental and spiritual
bodies interface with the world. Most of our perceptions about the
world we live in have some relationship to the sensations of our
skin. In fact the word we use to describe the sense of touch and the
word we use for our emotions is the same - "feeling."
When we have emotional upsets that cannot be expressed in words or
actions, our skin often speaks for us. Note the blushing of the
cheeks when someone is embarrassed. The cheeks say what the words
cannot.
Adolescent acne is often related to sexual development. As the sex
organs develop and different hormone are secreted, the structure of
the skin changes. If at the same time, the teenager is feeling
conflicted about the mental and emotional changes that are going on,
his skin may do the talking for him....
