Stress hormones increase inflammation in the body, suppress the immune system, which makes you more susceptible to infection by acne-causing bacteria, and can even increase oil production in the skin.
Hormoni stresa potiču otečenost u tijelu, potiskuju obrambeni sustav, što nas čini osjetljivijima na bakterije  koje uzrokuju bubuljice. Mogu čak i povećati proizvodnju  masnoća u koži.
