Sweat, Stretch and Skin Health

The Skin Science Club

This episode I took a deep dive in studies about how exercise affects the skin -the sweat, the stretch - how will it impact skin hydration, wound healing and aging? Do cardio and weight lifting have different effects on the skin?

Also, what happens to your skin if you work out with makeup on?

Thank you for listening to The Skin Science Club - Great skin starts with understanding the science behind it.
