Beyond Pimples: Stress, Lifestyle Fuel Severe Acne in Young Indians

• Young Indians (18-25) face earlier, more severe acne, pigmentation, and sensitivity, unlike previous generations.
• Chronic stress, digital overload, disrupted sleep, and unhealthy diets are key drivers, weakening the skin barrier.
• Environmental factors like high UV, pollution, and humidity further assault the skin, worsening conditions.
• Self-treatment with strong actives without professional guidance often leads to more breakouts and skin damage.
• Dermatologists recommend early professional care, holistic treatment, and lifestyle changes for resilient skin.

Why It Matters: Modern stressors and lifestyle choices are causing severe, early skin issues in young Indians, needing professional care.
