Enza and Exercise

November 19, 2012-- 1:56 PM

Even though many of you skin fanatics probably already know, I am just learning how complete skin care reaches far beyond your morning and nightly cleansing/moisturizing routine. I mean, did you know that sweating from exercise can actually "detoxify" your skin? I had no idea-- but I figure this can be even more reason for me to kick myself into shape. 

I (like many others) really do enjoy exercise but struggle to find the time (and motivation) for it. So in order to force myself into it, I started a training schedule for a half marathon I will be running in next spring.. which is coming up more quickly than I'd like it to. So anyway, yesterday, I went out for a longer run- the gorgeous weather talked me into it. I remembered from my skin care consult with Deb last week, to cleanse, tone and moisturize my face immediately after working out. And when I did just that, I was surprised to see my face so quickly back to normal after running- not flushed, not red, and not even a little bit oily. My skin felt great instantly. 

Now that I'm working on obtaining flawless skin, I have yet another reason to get out and exercise- especially before the cold weather kicks in! Wish me luck! :)
