For your hair
  Exercise helps to promote blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles. This eases the supply of nutrients in the blood stream to the hair follicles. "It promotes hair growth and controls hair loss. It also keeps the scalp healthy and prevents pore clogging," says Husain. With regular exercise, hair follicles are nourished by oxygen-rich blood flow that rushes antioxidants to the area to destroy free radicals before they can damage your hair. An added benefit is that when exercising outdoors, your hair could develop a few sunlit streaks for a natural highlighted effect.

Exercise and Beauty Part 3

Acne prevention
Acne is normally caused by an over-production of sebum that clogs the pores. Sebum is released into the pores on a regular basis, but certain hormones cause an over production such as testosterone and the stress hormone cortisol. Any increase in these hormones corresponds to an increase of acne on the skin.

By exercising, you can correct hormonal imbalances that lead to acne. Exercising relieves stress and lowers cortisol levels in the blood, therefore, eliminating the over production of sebum, which can lead to blocked pores. Additionally, exercising creates sweat. Sweat cleans out pores and removes dead skin cells, oils, and chemicals, which build up over time. By flushing out these toxins, you remove existing acne and also impede any further inflammation that the body has to foreign particles on the skin.

The Beauty Benefits of the Steam Room

The Beauty Benefits of the Steam Room
Steam rooms have become a common fixture in many relaxation spots. From spas, to fitness centers, they have gained acceptance, mostly because of the kind of relaxation they offer. But there are many more benefits of the steam room than just stress reduction. There are those who take steam baths because for medical reasons, such as those suffering from fibromyalgia and want pain alleviation. Then there are those who take steam baths for the beauty reasons.
Steam Baths for Your Skin
Most of the benefits of the steam room are taken up by your skin. That’s unsurprising, considering it is the organ that is mostly targeted. With a steam bath, and a raised core temperature, the pores of the skin open up to make the process of sweating more effective. Sweating is a biological mechanism undertaken by the body to bring forth a cooling effect on the body. However it does more than that, as it helps the body get rid of whatever toxins it can. If these are close to your skin, they are effortlessly eliminated.
The heat also causes your veins to become larger and more superficial. While this effect is also meant to eliminate heat waste from your body, the increased flow of blood helps nourish your skin, giving it a healthier appearance.
Those with dry skin also benefit from having their skins hydrated.
Fat Emulsification
Fat is extremely stubborn and hard to eliminate from the body. A steam bath can help, by emulsifying those fats that are close to your skin. This fat, contained in the sebaceous glands, is what contributes to acne, and a steam bath helps get rid of it. Those with oily skins benefit greatly from this, as it reduces the chance of developing acne.
A steam bath increases your metabolism. The increased core temperature gets the body working effortlessly to reduce it. As energy is needed to accomplish this purpose, your metabolism is increased. This won’t contribute significantly to fat loss, but you will enjoy the benefits of having a raised metabolism.
The benefits of the steam room don’t end there, as a steam bath can help in the treatment of cellulite. For those wishing to get rid of the unsightly look that cellulite gives, this is a significant benefit, as it can make you more comfortable in your beach wear.
Glowing Skin
Following a steam bath, your skin will look significantly healthier. It will be sufficiently hydrated so it will be more elastic and more youthful looking. The detoxification will also help in enhancing the glowing look.
Combining these beauty benefits of steam room with the medical ones, it’s clear that there is a lot that stands to be gained. That said you should try having for a steam bath whenever your schedule allows it. Do consult with your physician first if you have pre-existing ailments or suffer from respiratory conditions, such as asthma, before having a steam bath. Also make sure you hydrate adequately before and after a steam bath. Considering how much you are going to sweat, it is gravely important to drink enough water to prevent dehydration.
