Exercise and Your Skin

Did you know that exercise is not only important for your bones, muscles and well being, but for your skin.
​Ever notice how your skin looks after a vigorous workout? Besides being sweaty and red your skin is glowing! It's not only important to be using a good skin regimen (I can hook you up with that), monthly facials (you know I give the best facial), and eating a clean diet (you should jump on Arbonne's 30 days to healthy living program) but exercise is another key component to healthy aging.

greatSo here are the benefits of exercising for your skin:

1. Reduce wrinkles - A good workout will help our body produce collagen and keep your skin supple. It will also help to maintain healthy levels of cortisol (your stress related hormones). Too much cortisol could lead to acne breakouts or cause the collagen in your skin to break down increasing sagging and wrinkles.
2. Instant Glow - When you get your heart pumping from aerobic exercise, your skin receives a dose of oxygenating blood, allowing it to produce more natural oils which will help your skin look healthy and naturally moisturized.
3. Sweat it out - Since your skin is the largest detox organ, sweating helps to clear the skin and purge your body of toxins that can clog your pores.
4. Muscle Tone - the more muscle tone you have, the healthier your skin will look and feel. Increased muscle tone will lead to firming skin and may also minimize the appearance of cellulite.

Make sure after your workout you wash your face. I love these Dissolve the Day Facials cloths.
They are convenient, great for the gym, biodegradable and are non toxic.
