But exercise is also good for our skin and has a rejuvenating effect
The sweat that occurs during sports cleanses the skin pores and washes them free, this is an ideal killer for possible skin impurities.
In addition, the exertion and the resulting heat promote blood circulation and oxygen supply to the skin, which can be seen from the fact that it turns red during exercise. More oxygen and nutrients in the skin also mean improved cell growth, which is reflected in an increased renewal rate of the cells: You look younger with regular intensive training! The increased blood flow ensures a better removal of dead skin cells and free radicals.
Regular sweating, even after exercising in the sauna, reduces the risk of psoriasis by 30 - and the likelihood of developing skin diseases in general. However, this only applies to training of approx. 100 minutes per week, i.e. approximately 1 to 2 training units..

In the participants of the study, however, who exercised regularly, the skin resembled people aged 20 to 30, even if some of the participants examined were already over 65 years old!
