Could meditation help with outbreaks? Maybe. It is known that stress is one of the leading causes of adult acne outbreaks. With this being the case, it is advisable to try and manage the stress of our lives as a way to help to keep acne at bay. So, why not try meditation as a way to help with a stressful time?

CNNhealth’s mental health expert, Dr. Charles Raison, explains that “All the studies aren’t perfect, but there is more and more data suggesting that meditation is useful for reducing stress responses.” He also adds that “Too much stress puts wear and tear on your body and damages your health.”

The point to note is that, in addition to doing things like raising blood pressure (which can adversely affect the heart), stress also serves to suppress the immune system. You may have noticed that cold symptoms often arise at times of severe stress. This is because it is more likely for those under severe stress to become ill with colds and develop infections.

With the body less able to fight off infections, outbreaks also appear more easily. A red, swollen, irritating acne lesion is an infection. If your body is less able to fight infections, the healing time as well as the frequency of outbreaks, are both likely to increase.
