Exercise
Exercise isn’t just for your body; it works for your skin as well. During exercise, your blood flows up to the skin providing oxygen and nutrients. This is important because the amount of oxygen and food your skin receives determines how healthy your skin is. Healthy skin glows. Add just 30 minutes a day of exercise into your daily routine and you’ll find that your skin is glowing once again.
Incorporating a variety of workouts, such as cardio, strength training, and yoga, can enhance this glow even more. Cardiovascular exercises increase the heart rate and promote blood circulation, nourishing skin cells. Strength training can tone your body and indirectly improve your skin's appearance by reducing stress. Meanwhile, yoga promotes relaxation which may also help reduce the levels of stress-related hormones in the body, preventing breakouts. Remember, sweat from exercise also helps cleanse your pores, just make sure to wash your face post-workout to prevent any unwanted clogged pores.

What you eat is reflected on your skin. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides your skin with the vitamins and minerals it needs to be healthy. When you add processed foods, fried foods and excess amounts of sugar into your diet, your face loses its glow, and often breaks out with blemishes.
