Hey everyone! I had to decide whether to put this in the Health or College section so I decided to put it here. Did your acne get worse when you attended college? My sister said her acne increased due to school stress and the unhealthy food she ate.

So do you think attending college increases your acne?

no regrets, no worries, just dream: my journey to law school

no, bad habits like not washing your face regularly and not changing your pillow cases give you acne.

Stress is definately a factor when it comes to acne. It releases some kind of hormone that results in break outs and such. Sleep is also really important.

I said, "Come on, I thought it over. I don't wanna die here. I have no desire to get m♥rried."
Every night I pray for you, don't believe in heaven or that it could be a happy place.

wow, so if you're scared of college giving you acne, then were you PARANOID of high school giving u acne too??

NO. college does not give you pimples.

As long as u have good hygeine and conscience, your risk with acne should decrease.

I think it has alot to do with your hygeine. I never got acne when I was in college until finals and then even though I washed my face everyday I still broke out from the stress, but I ate healthy.

I also think it has to do with the person and how oily their skin is.

oh my...why such a thread..i hate my acne!!! and yes...every time i stress I have it.. >___________< but I don't think college is the main factor, lol, it's just when you stress a lot you have abnormal eating habits and you act differently like you can't sleep so you end up having acne..it is also based on your body

college = more stress & less sleep = icky skin

i had nice, baby smooth skin all during high school. once i reached my sophomore year in college, i noticed a change in my skin...for the worse. although my acne is more hormonal, occurring around that special time of the month, i could tell it was further agitated by the stress from college (maintaining good grades, getting all my credits in, graduation, applying to nursing school, awaiting acceptance, preparing for nursing school, etc. etc...blah...)

all the while, i still tried to maintain a healthy routine...using gentle beauty/health products, exercising when time permitted, eating a healthy diet, trying to sleep early & such. i blame stress & hormones for my poor skin.

ever since i graduated last year, i've had better looking skin since i am stress-free & can finally get some sleep!

since attending colelge, my face has cleared up! HAHAHA
That's only because I'm under my doctor's care.
Stress is one of the factors of acne though, it's true. My face cleared up a lot after I was done with high school, it was amazing lol. and then college hit... dun dun dunn..
Drink lots of water (i need to do that =x)
Dining hall food is not bad, we have a lot of food to choose from (sometimes) so choose wisely.
Eat lots of fruits

I seem to get acne during midterms and finals, definitely because of stress. Once it's said and done with, my face clears up. Happens every year, worse possible place for acne is in the middle of your forehead.
