You know you should exercise in order to maintain health and for many other reasons. But you may not realize that running can actually help you obtain the healthy skin you’ve always wanted to have. There are many different ways in which running can help your skin. Here are just a few.

The Healthy Glow

When you get your heart pumping during a good run, your skin gets fresh oxygenated blood. That gives you a nice, healthy glow right after you are done working out. The more often you run, the longer the glow lasts.

Reduced Wrinkles

Running has a way of relieving the stresses of everyday life. You will have a healthy level of cortisol from your regular work outs and that helps cut back on skin breakouts and other unwanted skin issues. Cortisol also stimulates collagen growth, which helps keep the skin from wrinkling and sagging.

Relives Acne

Working out boosts circulation and that nourishes the skin. This helps to draw toxins out of the body as you sweat, which also cleans the pores and rids of congestion. Working out can even correct hormonal imbalances that sometimes cause acne in adults. When you run on a regular basis, you could very well see your acne improve or disappear completely as a result.

Other Beauty Health

Not only will your skin show improvements when you run, but you will also notice your hair will be stronger and healthier. The flow of blood and nutrients your skin receives also happens to your hair follicles. This will promote growth. As you lower your stress levels, your hair will be less brittle and less will fall out.

Any type of work out can help you with healthy skin, but running definitely improves circulation and reduces stress. It is also good for the heart, the body and overall health. If you haven’t run before, start with slow runs for a short amount of time and work your way up to a thirty-minute run at a quicker pace. Maybe, you will eventually run in a marathon, such as the New Jersey Half Marathon . You will see the health results pile up as you add to your running routine.
