Managing stress is essential for overall well-being and can also have a positive impact on your skin health if you have an inflammatory skin condition, like acne.

This weekend, I was asked to write a guest column in the Sunday Times Style. The topic – talking to teens about acne, and what I have learned as a Dermatologist and also step mum to a teenager.

Not too long ago you could ask any skincare expert which product or ingredient they’d recommend for glowing skin and nine times out of 10 their answer would be some kind of exfoliating acid. But is the tide starting to turn?

A recent Dermatology study concluded that most of the information found online regarding diet and acne was misleading or unfounded.
