Natural Ways to Better Your Skin

Exercise

Exercise has health benefits for nearly every part of the body, even the skin. A regular workout routine can improve the skin because, during an exercise, your blood is pumping oxygen-rich blood to the skin. The skin uses this nutrient-rich blood to replenish itself by producing more collagen. Collagen is what keeps skin looking smooth and plump. Natural oils, which moisturize the skin, also are produced when sweating. Sweating can even help unclog pores. Shower after a workout to remove toxins, dead skin and bacteria.
