Acne and exercise

Robert Kokoska

Daily exercise can be extremely beneficial to your overall skin
health and can also help clear it of acne too.

Regular exercise increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the
skin cells. When you sweat, your body expells toxins through the
skin with ease from the opened pores. Sweating effectively
cleans the pores from dirt, dead skin cells and excess sebum.

When you exercise, your kidneys and liver work more effectively
in removing toxins from the body. Stress is also reduced from
exercise and both of these are known causes of acne.

It is a good idea after exercising to take a shower. This washes
away the sweat and any other waste material ejected from the
body. It also prevents the growth of bacteria which is attracted
to sweat.

After exercise be sure to drink plenty of water. Water is
essential for ridding the body of toxins and to replace all the
water lost from sweating. Acne has been shown to occur in people
who aren't drinking enough water.

Almost all exercises are great and the more you sweat the
better. Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and team sports are
all suitable. If you can, try to exercise outdoors in the fresh
air and sunshine.

Swimming is excellent due to being in water which helps to fully
cleanse the pores. It is important to rinse yourself after
swimming to clean off the chlorine on your body which can leave
your skin really dry.

One of the best exercises for acne is using a mini-trampoline.
Jumping on a mini-tramp is beneficial for your lymphatic system.
Your lymph is controlled by movement and operates best when
exercising.

The lymph provides the cells with the nutrients it needs and is
also responsible for removing and eliminating cell waste and
toxins. If the lymph is insufficienty activated, the cells swim
in their own waste which can block pores and when bacteria
starts to grow in blocked pores it causes acne.

It has been reported that rebounding can increase the flow of
your lymph by up to 30 times. It has also been stated that
rebounding is possibly the best exercise ever invented because
it has so many benefits.

Not only does exercise benefit the skin, it also has emotional
and mental benefits. It is good for stress relief as stated
earlier but also good for keeping the mind focused and active.
Apart from exercise, proper sleep and relaxation are also good
for reducing stress.
