How To Nourish Your Skin, Part 1

Just as a full length mirror reflects your health, your skin registers your living habits and what kind of beauty care you practice. What you put inside your body dramatically influences how your skin looks. So, let’s take a look at how and what you need to feed yourself to achieve a healthy complexion.

Having a good oxygen supply is an essential requirement for building a healthy body, mind, and of course, skin. The most effective way to clear your skin through increased oxygen intake is to exercise at least three times a week. The healthy flush you notice all over your skin after you workout is the result of increased blood circulation, a by-product of high oxygen intake.

Physical activity greatly benefits the skin by increasing the flow of blood throughout skin tissue, bringing oxygen and other nutrients needed for maintenance and repair of skin cells. Oxygenated blood helps process toxins and internal pollutants that damage skin and connective tissues. When you exercise hard enough to make your skin flush, you can see how blood is circulating vigorously throughout your body.

If you are not athletic, don’t despair. Moderate exercise, such as 30 minutes of brisk daily walking, will help get blood pumping and your complexion blooming. In either case, it’s always wise to get your physician’s approval before starting an exercise program.
