It is too bad that I have not inherited the healthy, glowing skin. My skin is sensitive and acne prone. No matter, how careful I am about makeup products or how many medicines I take, it seems that there is no permanent solution to it. The reason for it could be that I do not eat healthy and I do not work out.

Cardio vascular exercise improves our skin, it includes walking, cycling, swimming and aerobics. Beauty products work temporarily on our skin and don’t go beyond two layers of our skin. Whereas, when we walk our heart and lungs starts pumping oxygen that reaches the blood, which in turn improves blood circulation throughout the body and flush away the toxins from the body that causes skin problems. It can help us to get rid of stretch marks, acne and pimples that occurs due to pregnancy, hormonal changes etc.

But, those who suffer with skin problems must take extra care of their skin while walking. Wear sunscreen in daytime and avoid walking between 10 am to 4pm. Still, once they make it a habit then they would notice healthy changes in their skin.

  1. I am planning to go for walking or jogging on an everyday basis since long.
    This article has given me all the more reasons to go than to avoid it any further.

  2. Every bit of this article is true. Earlier I used to go for walks everyday and I could see a lot of improvement on my skin. I even got the compliment that I looked younger and glowing. Then I got lazy as I had to put a break due to some medical issues and it broke my routine. But now I am going to start again. It also helps you think clearly. 😀

    Thanks..
