Playing Sport But Not Ruining Your Skin
Getting hot and sweaty might be great for your body, but it’s not always a good thing for your skin and can lead to breakout, rashes and all sorts of other issues. If you’re an active sole, but don’t want to compromise the quality of your skin, you might like to consider these sports.
Surfing. Aside from the benefits of the sun (which is mentioned later), surfing can have some wonderful benefits on tired or blemished skin. The fresh sea air acts to cleanse pores of many chemicals and toxins that are found in town 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. It is well known that stress is one of the biggest contributors to spots and wrinkles. During high levels of anxiety, the body’s hormones become imbalanced and pores tend to produce more natural oils than needed. 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 has been used for hundreds of years to help with certain skin conditions, including spots and some rashes. However, it is difficult to get the benefit of the sun without the heat and sweatiness that comes with it, and this causes other problems. Skiing and other winter sports allow you to get the most out of the sun by exposing it to safe levels of UV rays, but keep the skin cool at the same time and free from sweat and grease.
