The eyes of the world are on the Olympic athletes.  What they win.  What they say.  What they wear and yes, what they look like!  What can they be feeling?  Excitement for sure, and pressure no doubt.  With millions watching their every move, they are going to feel the stress not only of their performances but their appearance as well!

Stress can cause havoc on skin.  It creates an inflammatory response that results in a breakdown of the cell’s lining the pores.  This cell breakdown mixes with sebum causing a plug that blocks the pore and traps bacteria.  The trapped bacteria multiply and cause further inflammation and infection.  The result is a breakout of pimples and spots that can become red and painful.
