Blood Sweat Tears
Exercising Without The Bad Skin
There is no doubting that you can get a super body by taking part in sport regularly, but super skin is often an unwanted side effect of all the blood, sweat and tears. 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. Firstly the sea air opens up pores and helps detox the skin of any impurities that it picks up in more urban environments. Believe it or not, people used to take incredibly long journeys just to get the healing benefits of the sea air on their skin and in their lungs. Further more, you will naturally be exposing your skin to grains of sand and salt in the water, with both soften and exfoliate it perfectly. Who needs a spa day when you have the ocean to look after you?
Golf. As many experts agree, high levels of stress can play havoc with the condition of people’s skin. More oil than required is manufactured by pores on the skin as a result of an imbalance of hormones when stressed. 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. Golf is widely considered by experts to be one of the most relaxing sports you can take part in and regular players benefit from lower blood pressures and resting heart rates. 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. Scientists have been studying the effects of UV rays on the skin for many years and a good number believe they can really help some bad skin condition. 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. Getting out on the snow on a good day, be it on skis or a snowboard, can help your skin get the low levels of UV rays it needs without the sweaty heat that doesn’t help.
