Stress triggers acne and acne results in more stress, so it's a very vicious cycle. Basically, when you're under pressure, your skin produces stress hormones, including cortisol, that can stimulate your oil glands to make testosterone that then increases oil production and clogs pores. Pimples and zits are a common skin condition called acne. ... Wash your skin twice a day (morning and before bed) with a mild soap-free cleanser such as Purpose�, Basis�, or Neutrogena� to remove oil. Wash your face after you exercise as oil builds up and can clog pores
