Skin care: 5 tips for healthy skin

5. Manage stress

Too much stress can make skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin conditions.

To boost your chances for healthy skin and a healthy state of mind, take some steps to manage your stress:

  • Get enough sleep.
  • Add more movement into your day, such as taking a brisk walk.
  • Scale back your to-do list.
  • Try meditation or yoga.
  • Make time to do the things you enjoy and see the people you care about.

The results for your skin might be more dramatic than you expect.
