EXERCISE & SKIN-AGING

Posted by: Nicholas Vinsen 

For most of us, weight loss is the main motivator for getting into shape. But there are a lot of other benefits to physical exercise. Believe it or not, regular physical activity can reduce the signs of skin-aging! Physical exercise increases blood flow throughout the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body's vital organs, including the skin. When the skin of regular exercisers is examined, the impact of their activities are clearly evident. The skin appears to be thicker and has more collagen, the fibres that give the skin its strength and flexibility.
