Stressed skin? That's something you don't hear often but yes, our skin gets stressed out too. When we get stressed, it usually shows on our skin. For some, the skin tends to be dull-looking. For others, it comes in the form of breakouts which only means there's an increase in oil production resulting in clogged pores and inflammation of the skin or breakouts. All hope is not lost when this happens. Here are some ingredients to calm your skin down when stressed.
Aloe Vera
