1. Relaxed Skin
You may have noticed that when you’re under your stress your muscles hurt because you’ve been tensing. You’re doing the same to your skin, which is why worry lines across the forehead are fairly common. Provide yourself with reminders throughout the day to take a moment and let your entire body (thus your face) relax. The more frequently you do this the more you will realize just how tense you’re holding yourself.
2. Get Glowing Skin
Your skin cells are less active when you’re stressed which makes your skin look dull. So, make sure you’re exfoliating and moisturizing. Consider a DIY mix using items that are probably already in your fridge and/or cupboards.
3. Protect Your Health

When you feel yourself particularly stressed take notice of your breathing. Is it shallow, take a few minutes to correct it with some big breaths. It’s simple, draw in enough air to fill your belly and hold it for a few seconds before slowly exhaling. This should help you manage any adult acne breakouts or other skin conditions that affect you because of stress. Harvard University has found (https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/relaxation-techniques-breath-control-helps-quell-errant-stress-response) it truly helps to control blood pressure and stress levels.
8. Preventing Fine Lines
The best way, of course, would be to stop furrowing your brow or scowling. It sounds easy, but it takes time to get your muscles to relax. If you get stressed out at work then put a piece of type between your brow arches. You may look silly, but every time you furrow you’ll be reminded by the crinkle of tape to change the behavior. You can do the same for above your lip if you are a lip purser. It won’t take too long before you’ve ditched the habit altogether.

Getting Rid of Redness
Another case for deep breathing, because redness and flushing tends to stem from stress and shallow breathing. You can take it to the next level by practicing your deep breathing with an aroma diffuser to provide you with some mood boosting, stress relieving scents like chamomile, lavender, and patchouli.
Of course, you can save time by running that diffuser while practicing yoga.
13. Tea
As it turns out people aren’t drinking tea because they’re relaxed, they’re drinking it to relax. The University College London completed a study (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/media/library/tea) which found that drinking black tea is great for de-stressing due to its ingredients! So, you might want to consider swapping coffee for tea sometimes, you get the added bonus of de-stressing with your caffeine.
14. Talk It Out
Stress has taken over your life, your face has broken out and the last thing on your mind is hanging out with a friend. However, diving head first into a social situation is exactly what your body needs. When you’re stressed out you often isolate yourselves in your own emotions. So, reach out and talk it out with a friend to destress, your skin will thank
