Exams coming up? Yeah… your skin can tell.
Ever noticed how breakouts magically appear right before a big test? It’s not bad luck — it’s
stress. When you’re revising loads, your body releases cortisol (stress hormone), which can
make your skin oilier and more spot-prone.
What’s actually happening?
– More stress = more oil
– More oil = clogged pores
– Clogged pores = spots
What can you do?
– Keep it simple – gentle cleanser + moisturiser
– Don’t over-wash – twice a day is enough
– Sleep matters – all-nighters = dull skin
Final thought:
You don’t need perfect skin to smash your exams. Focus on doing your best — your skin will
calm down after.
