Staying Up Late at Night Can Cause Acne and Other Skin Problems
Staying up late at night (reviewing for the exam, working overtime on a project or even blogging till the wee hours in the morning) can cause acne and skin problems. I have observed this in me and my former classmates in college. My wife also develops acne whenever she stays up all night. This is true especially when you do it for a prolonged period of time. Also, having a sensitive skin (like what I have discussed in my article “Do You Have a Sensitive Skin and Acne is a problem?“) makes you more prone to having acne than those who have better skin tones.
Teenagers are more prone also to having acne because the metabolism of their bodies are much faster and produce more hormones than most adults.
If you are having problems with acne, consult a physician. Do not experiment with acne products without prescription. Also, read more about proactive acne treatments that you could try with the help of a professional. It’s better to be safe than sorry. For bloggers and students, limit your working hours at night before you develop acne and other skin problems like dryness and looseness due to loss of body fluids and electrolytes.

I have also observed this. Whenever I stay up late at night in front of my computer, I have acne the following morning.

well this may be true for some but not to everyone. we worked for until 1am for years now. luckily, most of us in the team never developed acne. we have pimples, but one or two only. at hindi siya laging lumilitaw.
