Managing the physical signs of stress

Stress may seem an inevitable part of life, but you can take action to control it. In fact, it's imperative that you do since stress can wreak havoc on your skin by kicking off the release of androgens and cortisol. These stress hormones can stimulate an over-production of oil from the sebaceous glands in the skin. When this excess oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, acne can develop or become worse. Recent scientific studies show a direct relation between acne breakouts and stress. One study conducted at Stanford University examined students before and during exams and found that the level of acne correlated to the level of stress they were experiencing. This connection can be detrimental to your skin because worrying about acne can cause you more stress and plunge you into a stress-acne cycle. In order to break this cycle, you must combat acne—and the best way to do that is with proper skin care. Controlling acne may seem difficult, but treating it is simple with the Nu Skin Clear Action™ System.

Nu Skin Clear Action™ clears your skin beyond the breakout—and beyond what other products do. Most acne fighting products on the market today are only designed to address the pimple you have now. And while they may work for a couple of months, they can be very drying, stripping your skin of important natural oils. Additionally, your skin can then begin to overproduce oils to compensate for dryness, making your acne worse than when you started.

Unlike these other products, Nu Skin Clear Action™ is a unique, three step system that addresses the past, present, and future effects of acne so your skin will stay clear and healthy for the long term. Nu Skin Clear Action™ Foaming Cleanser contains gentle cleansers that don't strip your skin of its natural moisture. And since your skin's antioxidant supply is depleted as it fights acne, Nu Skin Clear Action™ Toner contains a special blend of vitamins C and E that is water and fat soluble to help deliver antioxidant protection through the lipidlayers of the skin. Nu Skin Clear Action™ Day Treatment contains hexapeptide-2 to reduce the potential development of dark spots, and Nu Skin Clear Action™ Night Treatment features patented alpha lipoic acid to diminish the remnant marks of past breakouts.
