IS THERE A LINK BETWEEN STRESS & ACNE?

There is a link between adult acne and stress, and research has proven this link. (In fact, acne is considered one of the main culprits when it comes to acne in adults.) This happens because, when your body is stressed, the increase in stress hormones can throw off your equilibrium and you can experience all sorts of changes, such as weight gain, increased blood pressure, and worsened acne. Experts are divided on whether stress creates acne or just worsens it, but it does increase the amount of oil your skin secretes, which can clog pores and cause breakouts.
One way to tell if acne is stress-related is to be aware of when breakouts tend to occur, and examine your stress levels from the preceeding week. If breakouts tend to match up with the times that your body is feeling stressed, there is probably a link. (If, however, you always tend to get acne on specific spots like the right side of your chin or your left cheek, that could actually be due to environmental factors like your cell phone resting on your face as you talk.)

You can practice stress management techniques to keep stress-related acne in check, and be sure to wash your face regularly as well. I also recommend exfoliating and even using a home microdermabrasion kit, which removes the top layer of skin and stimulates new, fresh skin to grow, but I'm not a dermatologist, so that recommendation is only a lay opinion.

HOW THE POWER OF VISUALIZATION CAN MAKE YOU FEEL AND LOOK BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

Brain studies now reveal that thoughts produce the same mental instructions as actions. Mental imagery impacts many cognitive processes in the brain: motor control, attention, perception, planning, and memory. So the brain is getting trained for actual performance during visualization. It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation, increase confidence and self-efficacy, improve motor performance, prime your brain for success, and Begin by establishing a highly specific goal. Imagine the future; you have already achieved your goal. Hold a metal ‘picture’ of it as if it were occurring to you right at that moment. Imagine the scene in as much detail as possible. Engage as many of the five senses as you can in your visualization. Who are you with? Which emotions are you feeling right now? What are you wearing? Is there a smell in the air? What do you hear? What is your environment? – all relevant to achieving your best life!

Now imagine how visualization can relate to feeling and looking beautiful. Surely, there’s a mind/body connection. Think about how great you feel after a new haircut, after buying a new outfit or when you’re face is glowing without imperfections. Unstoppable, right?

HOW TO USE HOME REMEDIES FOR ACNE SCARS

We at 4N21 know how hard it is to navigate through all of the great advice we hear when it comes to home remedies. So, we've created a few guidelines that are safe for everyone to go by:

1.ALWAYS do a Skin Test - Your skin is as unique as you. Even those ingredients which might seem to be very gentle for MOST people, might not work for you.

Test any home remedies for acne scars FIRST back of your arm or the inside of your ear and then wait a day to see how your skin reacts. If you have no reaction, you are more likely to get a positive result from your homemade acne treatments.

2.Use Home Remedies Consistently - No matter what acne scar healing treatment you choose, will need to use it consistently in order to see results. Natural treatments often take longer before you see results.

3.Cleanse, Tone, Prep and Moisturize Daily with 4N21 Skin System- Even if you have acne outbreaks, you still need to cleanse, tone, prep and moisturize your skin.

We have seen the best results for acne with gentle hypoallergenic skin care products and personal care products that are free from toxins AND also free from plant allergens. These can help your skin to heal quicker, and will reduce future acne outbreaks.

4.Use a Holistic Approach - Any home remedies for acne scars that you use will work MUCH more effectively if you also pay attention to the food you are eating, and to your overall health.

Recent research suggests that you can reduce acne outbreaks and scarring simply by eliminating refined and processed food and eating a more natural diet.
