Stress and zits

Does stress really cause zits?? I am 33 years old and have never had more than 2 pimples on my face at one time. I've probably never had 10 zits in my whole life. Why am I breaking out now? What do I do about it?

candy, i know how you feel

my skin didn't break out until i was 28

they say stress doesn't cause it **rollin eyes** supposedly it is that when you are stressed, you don't keep up your skin care regimine, diet, etc.

try to be very disciplined in washing your face - with warm weather there are times when i have to wash mines 3x day. i use a cleanser called "derma e" from the health food store & it has been the only thing to stop me from getting absess-type bumps (deep down & painful ones!)

i have also read that taking 1tbsp of olive oil a day helps to keep your pores from clogging up - haven't tried that but it makes since

also - when you go to healthstore, get tea tree oil - dab that on your face/problem areas, it will dry it up so use carefully but it will clear it up - guaranteed
