“The skin, in my opinion, is a mirror to what is going in our minds.”  That is a quote from Dr. Gil Yosipovitch, a professor of dermatology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

What does it mean?  That stressed students are pimply students.

No lie.  Research was conducted in Indonesia (where the climate is mild, and therefore lets the scientists rule out weather) that determined that stress is more likely to cause acne than dirt or grease.

How did they come to that conclusion?  Because the test subjects broke out during a particularly stressful exam period.

Have you noticed more unwelcome pimples cropping up when you are stressed the most?  It may be time to dump the acne medication and start taking more relaxing baths and walks.
