studies have not confirmed one way or the other whether exercise will make your skin look younger. to do so exercise would need to improve your complexion and tighten your skin. some people believe that exercise will tighten skin and reduce wrinkles through increases in collagen or from muscles toning and pulling the skin tight. on the other hand there are people who suggest that exercise (particularly weight lifting) causes more wrinkles from the act of straining and muscles pulling on the skin. and then there are still others who suggest that the increase in circulation clears the skin of toxins and may contribute to more youthful-looking skin. however none of these claims have been confirmed and so it's unclear if these effects occur and if they do to what degree or in whom they will occur more frequently. despite the lack of studies proving that exercise will make your skin look younger most of us have experienced the "glow" that occurs with exercise and there's nothing like the fresh crisp feeling you get in your cheeks after a run walk or bike ride in cool weather. not only that but as we all know exercise will make you stronger more flexible healthier fitter improve your endurance and your balance and increase your energy. in those ways it will make you "younger" no matter how old you are or how your skin looks.
