Stress and acne; how do you think they relate? Take out a piece of paper and record your thoughts.
Do you feel stressed out after you study your face in the mirror wishing your acne was gone? Do you hide yourself inside of your house more often then you would if you were acne free? Be honest with yourself and write down your answers.
Stress is a huge contributor to acne.
More than half of people who suffer with acne also suffer from depression.
Unfortunately, being stressed out about your acne only makes it worse just like anything else in life.
If you begin to shift your focus away from acne, toward the positive in life, then your acne will begin to heal.
One way to do this is to focus on your relationships with the world.
Yourself, god, family, acquaintances, friends, best friends, and possibly a true love should be a large part of your life.
I will briefly discuss how growing your relationships will reduce your stress and thus acne.

Ignore the fact that you have acne.
Ignore everything bad about you.
We all could find an unlimited amount of negatives about us.
Where would this world be if we did this? Start focusing on all the positives about yourself; your unique characteristics.

You may find a million things that you do not like about your siblings or parents, but what good will that do? Focus on the positive and show appreciation for all that they have done.

Acquaintances Greet every stranger you pass by.
Keep your head held high, smile at everyone, and greet those who look back at you.

The more acquaintances you have in your life, the less you stop worrying if a stranger is starring at your acne or not.

He or she can be your coach for a lifestyle change; one that will allow you to heal your acne.
