Exercise Gives Healthy Skin

Exercise is beneficial for healthy life style. It improves metabolism and keeps one active and energetic. Exercise is not only good for keeping ones healthier but also is a key to fresh skin. Dermatologist Ellen Murmur says that “anything that keeps your circulation fast helps in keeping your skin healthy, vibrant and shiny. An increase in blood flow due to some exercise helps in nourishing cells of skin. Increase flow of blood causes elevated levels of oxygen to reach the bed of skin cells. Inorganic wastes and free radicals are necessary to get eliminated and increased circulation of blood helps in doing so.

Exercise has also been shown to ease stress. "And by decreasing stress, some conditions that can be exacerbated by stress can show some improvement," says Brian B. Adams, MD, associate professor and director of the Sports Dermatology Clinic at the University of Cincinnati. Conditions that can improve when stress is reduced include acne and eczema. Although researchers are still investigating the link between stress and skin, studies show that the sebaceous glands, which produce oil in the skin, are influenced by stress hormones.
