Why is exercise good for my skin?
Description
It doesn’t matter which fancy moisturizers or expensive skincare routine you use, nothing quite matches how your skin looks and feels after an intense workout. Just take a look in the mirror after you’ve finished exercising and you’ll likely see smooth skin and a glowing complexion.
That’s right, in addition to the positive impact on our physical and mental health, exercise can also improve our skin health. And there are studies out there which have backed it up. For example, biology journal Aging Cell reported on one in 2015, which found that vigorous exercise led to visibly younger-looking skin.
What’s the science behind that? How exactly does exercising and sweating purify skin? Are some types of exercise better for your skin than others? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
