Does Exercise Improve Men's Skin And Hair?

Let's be honest, when you're trying to get in shape, the last thing on your mind is your skin and hair. You're too busy grinding your way through that last mile or curling those last few reps.

But in reality, what you do in the gym can have a huge impact on the appearance of both your skin and hair.

Sure - excess sweat can make you break out like a teenage boy, but exercise can actually have some pretty positive effects on the health of your skin. You just need to know the dos and don'ts of skincare and exercise.

So fellas, lace up your sneakers, and let’s get to it!

Does Working Out Affect Men’s Skin? 

We all know that working out has tons of benefits for our bodies - it helps to improve our cardiovascular health, increase our strength and stamina, and can even help to boost our mood. 

But what about our skin? Does sweating it out every day at the gym have any impact on our skin health?

Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that working out can indeed have a positive effect on our skin!

Exercise has been shown to increase circulation, which can promote healing and help to give skin a healthy glow. On top of that, sweat helps to flush out toxins and impurities from the pores, which can also help to improve your overall complexion. 

Of course, it goes without saying that it's important to shower after a workout to remove sweat and bacteria from the skin… Otherwise, you may end up with more breakouts than before. 

So if you're looking for a way to improve your skin health, hit the gym - just don't forget to wash your face (and body!) afterward.

When having your post work out shower or bath, it's important to use a face and body wash that won't strip your skin of its natural oils - especially if you're the kind of guy that likes to work out every day!

By using a natural face and body wash for men, you can help to keep your skin's moisture barrier intact, which will help to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant.

And for those really heavy, sweat-soaked sessions, we'd recommend a sea salt body scrub to help exfoliate and remove any dead skin cells and keep bacne at bay!

Does Working Out Affect Men’s Hair? 

Any seasoned gym-goer knows the feeling of post-workout hair. You know, when your once-luscious locks are now a greasy, sweat-soaked mess? Yeah, that's not exactly a good look…

But does exercising really have an effect on your hair? And if so, is it a good or bad thing?

Well, the truth is, exercise can actually have both positive and negative effects on your hair. 

You see, exercise increases circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, including your hair follicles. This increased blood flow can promote hair growth and make your hair appear fuller and shinier. 

However, there's a downside to all that sweating… 

Excessive exercise can also lead to dehydration and inadequate nutrition, both of which can lead to hair loss, so it’s important to refuel your body after exercising.

Additionally, harsh chemicals in hair products can damage your hair if you use them every day after working out, drying out both your scalp and your hair. 

So remember to rinse your hair well and use gentle, protective products like our shampoo for men’s oily hair after a workout to retain your mane!

Will Exercise Make Men’s Hair Thicker? 

To the dude scrolling through an Instagram feed full of thick-haired males, struggling to come to terms with the fact that their hair is falling out at an alarmingly rapid rate: you are not alone!

In fact, hair loss is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors, as we discovered when we did a deep dive into how to recognize male pattern baldness.

As you know, pumping iron is a great way to make your biceps thicker, but can exercise also make our hair thicker?

Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of evidence surrounding exercise and longer locks, so if you're looking for a workout that will give you Rapunzel-like hair, you're going to have to look elsewhere.

However, that doesn't mean that exercise can't improve the condition of your hair! 

Regular exercise helps to increase blood flow and oxygen levels throughout the body, which in turn can promote hair growth. So, while you might not be able to grow your hair longer with exercise, you can definitely make it look healthier!

Does Exercising Help With Anti-Aging? 

The quest for eternal youth is one that has been going on for centuries, with people trying all sorts of odd and often dangerous methods to maintain a youthful appearance.

However, there is one method of anti-aging that is both safe and effective: exercise!

While it may seem counterintuitive, working up a sweat can actually help to keep your skin looking young and healthy. 

As we already touched on, exercise helps to increase blood flow, delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, and can help flush out toxins that can damage the skin. 

As a result, regular exercise can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a youthful glow. 

So if you're looking for a way to fight the signs of aging, hit the gym - your skin will thank you for it.
