How Exercise Affects Your Skin, The Good And Bad

Does it really need to be said that exercise is good for you? “During exercise, the heart rate increases and improves blood circulation, which helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin,” Hartman told HuffPost. “This rush of oxygen and nutrients promotes the development of collagen to prevent skin sagging and regenerates new skin cells to keep the skin glowing and exfoliating properly.” While the verdict is still out on just how much exercise can improve the visual appearance of your skin, early evidence shows promise for overall skin health, wound healing and anti-aging, according to Jordan V. Wang, a dermatologist at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. Like Hartman, Wang said that increased blood flow to the skin is one big benefit, explaining that nutrient-rich blood can “flush out unwanted byproducts of skin cells and contribute to having a healthy glow.” The anti-inflammatory effects of exercise may play a positive role as well. “Exercise can increase sweat, and that can cause certain skin conditions to flare,” Hartman said.
