Beat down stress acne
The key to fighting stress — and your genes — is the right skin care regimen. Hirsch says to start with a gentle facial cleanser, specifically one with salicylic acid in it. “Salicylic acid acts like a sponge and will make oily skin disappear,” she explained.
After washing your face gently (no scrubbing), apply a moisturizer with SPF. Try The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturizer SPF 15, $20. Use a spot treatment on any zits that do show up, and of course, no picking or popping (but you knew that).
