What can I use to combat Stress Acne?

Question: What can I use to combat Stress Acne?
I just started college, and my acne has NEVER been this bad! I have constant breakouts all over my face, literally, and I never got them in clusters. It’s really upsetting me, because my usual combination of a scrub and cleanser and a masque 2 times a week is now doing tiny to nothing to help me. This used to work before, but now I’m just frustrated. I don’t want to spend 300 dollars in ‘cures’, and I know there is something out there that is natural and inexpensive. If anyone has any ideas, things that have worked for them in the past? I have very thin skin and it is very sensitive and isn’t oily. It dries out, expecially in the winter (when I have to use a moisturizer), on occassion, but never in excess. It isn’t hormonal, and I’ve considered Yasmin as a viable alternative. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you Dr. H! I will certainly try that. I don’t know ‘for sure’ if it is stress related, but it does seem the most probable answer. I will try the honey,cinnamon and nutmeg. Also I’ve read a lot about lemons, so I will try that as well. Thank you so much for your aide!

Neutrogena has a treatment face wash especially for stress acne…you can check it out here: http://www.drugstore.com/qxp163358_333181_sespider/neutrogena_oil_free/oil_free_acne_stress_control_3_in_1_hydrating_acne_treatment.htm

I’m not sure how effective it is because I’ve never tried it, but Neutrogena is a trusted brand.

Also some other tips are to use a moisturizer ALL the time, not just in the winter! Sometimes skin can become very irritated if it’s too dry and not moisturized enough. Make sure it has SPF, and also, try an on-the-spot treatment for some of the acne and make sure it contains Salicylic Acid.
