VITAMIN C FOR STRESS AND ACNE...

CAN STRESS CAUSE ACNE?
While stress is not the cause of acne, it can act as a powerful trigger. If you are prone to breakouts, stress will likely trigger a flare-up in a matter of hours. If you already have acne, stress can will make your acne worse.


When we are under stress our body's require more vitamin C. This is because the adrenal glands, which produce your "stress hormones" (hormones that help you deal with stress), need vitamin C to function. The more stress you encounter, the more work required for your adrenal glands to produce hormones, and the more vitamin C required for tip top functioning.  Vitamin C is used throughout the entire adrenal cascade and acts as an antioxidant within the adrenal glands. A higher vitamin C intake when you are under any type of stress will help your body manage stress and can help control acne breakouts.
