Exercising Without The Bad Skin

Getting hot and sweaty might be great for your body, but it’s not always a good thing for your skin and can lead to breakout, rashes and all sorts of other issues. Here are some top sports that will not only keep your body fit, but also your skin.

Surfing. Aside from the benefits of the sun (which is mentioned later), surfing can have some wonderful benefits on tired or blemished skin. The fresh sea air acts to cleanse pores of many chemicals and toxins that are found in town environments. People have been visiting the coast for thousands of years to help fight illness, and the benefits are the same for your skin as well. Secondly, when you’re surfing the salt water and sand particles act to gently exfoliate the skin and leave it soft and looking brand new. Who needs a spa day when you have the ocean to look after you?

Golf. It is well known that stress is one of the biggest contributors to spots and wrinkles. When you feel anxious or stressed, the body produces unbalanced levels of hormones and this leads to excess oils being produced by pores. The excess oils have the result of blocking the skin pores and creating the perfect oxygen-free environment for bacteria to grow, which in turn leads to spots. Sports such as golf have been proven to combat high stress levels and the physiological side effects that come with it, and regular golf players have some of the lowest stress levels of all sports performers. So if your skin is in need of some relaxation from all those intensive beauty products, your local golf course is the place to go.

Skiing. The sun has been proved by scientists to have dramatic positive effects on the skin (if used sensibly). It has been used for hundreds of years to help with certain skin conditions, including spots and some rashes. That said, catching some rays often involves get hot and sweaty at the same time, which is not what the skin needs at all. Winter sports are one way to get some exposure to the sun’s rays without getting all hot and sweaty and blocking the pores with the oils you’re trying to avoid.
