As we all know when cortisol levels are high, it forces your glands to go into overdrive and unnecessarily produce more oil. An overproduction of natural oil (also known as sebum) is the leading cause for skin issues like breakouts and severe acne. High cortisol levels also cause inflammation.

And some people think the gym causes increase in cortisol

So what do you think? Does the gym contribute to acne?

However this is what google says about the gym and cortisol

When your body starts to feel the stress of moderate or high intensity exercise, your cortisol levels do increase – but it's a short term surge that serves a larger purpose. 'Stimulating the release of cortisol through regular exercise is an excellent and healthy way to regulate your stress response,' says Rothstein.

So does the gym not spike cortisol enough to have any negative effects
