The Sports The Help You Get Great Skin
March 1st, 2010 |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. If you’re keen to keep active, but value your skin condition as well, here are some top sports for you.
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. Additionally, salt water and sand are excellent exfoliators of the skin and leave it both soft and buffed. 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. If there is too much oil preventing air from getting into the pores, they become inflamed as bacteria spread and this leads to spots. Many sports psychologists agree that low intensity and low pace sports such as golf are very good at reducing stress levels and thus alleviating the negative effects of stress on the skin. 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. The sun has been proved by scientists to have dramatic positive effects on the skin (if used sensibly). It is known to help with eczema, spots, rashes, and all sorts of other problems. That said, catching some rays often involves get hot and sweaty at the same time, which is not what the skin needs at all. Winter sports are one way to get some exposure to the sun’s rays without getting all hot and sweaty and blocking the pores with the oils you’re trying to avoid.
