What can I take to treat stress which is causing acne and skin conditions?
Q. I know of someone who always seems to break out when she stresses out over something. What can supplements/medicine can she take to counteract stress, or even better, to help for both stress and the skin problem?

A. exercise is good because it releases endorphines which fight stress and also causes sweat which can release toxins. the skin is the bodies second liver...so if your liver isn't functioning properly it will come out your skin...so drink a lot of water too...at least 4 L a day. if that doesn't work...they might be intolerant to certain foods that are causing an immune response. salt and refined sugar can also cause acne in some people...so limit your sodium intake and cut out all refined sugars.
