EPISODE 006: REST & DIGEST. STRESS AND THE SKIN: PART TWO

Episode 6: Is My Acne Hormonal? Understanding the Stress–Skin Connection

If you’ve ever wondered “Is my acne hormonal?” — this episode dives deep into one of the biggest (and most overlooked) triggers: stress.

When the body moves into a constant stress response, it diverts energy away from digestion, detoxification, and repair. This means fewer nutrients reach the skin, waste doesn’t clear efficiently, and breakouts can flare — especially along the jawline, chin, and neck.

In this episode of The Holistic Skin Detective™, we explore what happens physiologically when your body shifts into fight-or-flight mode, how it impacts the digestive system, and what that means for hormonal acne. You’ll also learn simple, evidence-based strategies to bring your body back into rest and digest, helping your skin return to balance from the inside out.

You’ll discover:

• The biological link between stress, digestion, and acne
• Why calming your nervous system can ease hormonal breakouts
• How reflection and mindful awareness support long-term skin healing
