"Radiant skin is not only a matter of proper care but also of lifestyle. In addition to a balanced diet and an effective skincare routine, regular exercise plays a crucial role in the appearance of the skin. But how exactly does exercise affect the skin?"

Exercise promotes circulation and supports the body's natural detoxification. 

Sport gets the circulation going and ensures that the skin is better supplied with oxygen and nutrients. Good blood circulation supports cell regeneration, making the complexion appear fresher and rosier. Additionally, toxins and metabolic products can be more easily removed through improved blood circulation.

When sweating, not only excess salts but also toxins are expelled from the body. This can help to cleanse clogged pores and prevent impurities. Those who exercise regularly can therefore contribute to improving their skin appearance and achieving a clearer complexion.

Exercise reduces stress, prevents skin aging, and stimulates collagen production.

Chronic stress leads to the release of the hormone cortisol, which can accelerate the aging process of the skin. Regular exercise helps to lower cortisol levels while also stimulating the production of happiness hormones like endorphins. This not only improves mood but also helps keep the skin firmer and more youthful for longer.

Collagen is the most important structural protein of the skin and is responsible for its elasticity and firmness. Studies show that exercise can promote collagen production, which gives the skin more resilience and counteracts the formation of wrinkles. Endurance sports such as jogging, swimming, or cycling have this positive effect.

Exercise can prevent skin problems.

Regular exercise also has a positive effect on skin issues such as acne or rosacea. Since exercise improves blood circulation and strengthens the immune system, it can help reduce inflammation and make the skin more resilient to external influences. However, it is important to thoroughly cleanse the face after exercising to remove sweat and dirt particles.

Conclusion: An active lifestyle for healthy skin

Regular exercise is a real beauty booster for the skin. It improves circulation, promotes detoxification, reduces stress, and supports collagen production. To get the best for your skin, combine an active lifestyle with skincare tailored to your needs.
