One of the more common questions we get is
can stress cause oily skin?

Yes. There’s a direct relationship between stress and oily skin. Stress causes a chemical response in your body, which leads it to produce a higher dose of the hormone cortisol. This causes your glands to overproduce oil. Oily skin is more prone to acne and other skin problems.

So if you have ever noticed that you break out more when you're stressed, you’re not imagining things.
