7 Quick Tips To Prevent Your Skin Ageing From Exercise

Moderate exercise dramatically improves the youthfulness of your skin, but too much of a good thing can carve some unwanted lines. Not because you pull funny faces when you lift, but because high-level exercise releases more cortisol and causes inflammation, which can increase aging.

The solution? Make sure your post-workout recovery routine is on point, exercise without make-up to prevent your pores clogging and use these tips from the American Academy of Dermatology:

1. Use sunscreen daily – even in winter

2. Moisturise twice daily

3. Test products for 4-5 days on a small bit of skin before you use them in full

4. Use as much product as directed – too much can clog pores

5. Any product that burns or stings makes aging more noticeable

6. Stick to a handful of products – too many irritate the skin

7. Give products time to work
