This doesn't have to do with acne in particular, but it talks about the impact that stress has on your overall health. It talks about a lot of the things that you may have seen on this forum, but it is still interesting. If you have an hour, it is worth it.

Famous old twin sisters from the city of Leuven/Louvain by Ange Soleil


"A study published by "Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery", The journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and conducted on 186 pairs of identical twins has shown that environmental factors, especially what could be categorized under the umbrella heading of "stress", not just genetics, were instrumental in impacting the aging process...
The study is entitled "Factors Contributing To The Facial Aging of Identical Twins". It reveals among other things that a twin who has experienced divorce will look on average 2 years older than his or her married, single, or even widowed twin.

Another factor linked with an older appearance has been shown to be the use of anti-depressants. They however don't say in the summary I read in French via FashionMag.fr whether that has anything to do with the medication itself or the fact that it points to the existence of a depression, or to both combined factors."

here it's taken from some blog, I don't remember the original source where I first came across this article, I can't manage to find it now. Anyway I remember it also mentioned only first divorce had such a big impact, every other one was not that noticeable in the divorcee's appearance. I recall it also claimed to manifest itself in a difference of more years, than the two brought up in this excerpt. But anyhow, you get the point

I was watching this the other night on my local PBS, really great stuff! Really interesting to see the actual damage that stress causes the body. It's very true, most people have their fight or flight response on way too often.

Stress does have an effect on all sorts of health related things. It is not only stress though, it is all sorts of environmental factors. Here is a video on epigenetics if anyone wants to look at it. It talks about the differences in identical twins.
