Exercise is one of the best ways to improve your skin health, for several simple reasons.

First: exercise causes your body’s circulation to increase, which means better blood flow to problem areas. Better blood flow means more opportunities for your body to fight off diseases and infection.

The second reason exercise is good for your skin is because it causes you to sweat, which opens your pores and cleans them out, too. These are the two most obvious benefits of exercise for skin.

Exercise also improves skin by reducing your stress. Too much stress can lead to lowered immunity and slower cell repair. This is why people who are chronically stressed will, very often, have poor skin tone and high skin damage. The skin just doesn’t get the nutrients, rest, and other elements it needs to repair itself. As a result, you look older and unhealthy. More on Sweating Out Bad Skin
