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. If you suffer from bad skin, surfing probably isn't the first thing you would think about doing, but actually it can really help. Firstly the sea air opens up pores and helps detox the skin of any impurities that it picks up in more urban 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 spa days when you have the ocean to look after you?

Golf. Among other things, stress is a major contributor to poor skin complexion. During high levels of anxiety, the body’s hormones become imbalanced and pores tend to produce more natural oils than needed. 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.
