Exercise improves your intestinal environment and helps boost your immune system. Regular exercise also has a positive effect on the bacteria that live on your skin.
Exercises and lifestyle habits that have a positive effect on skin flora are generally expected to support a healthy lifestyle and contribute to immune function and inflammation regulation. Below are some exercises and lifestyle habits that may have a positive effect on skin flora.
- **Moderate exercise:**
- **Benefits:** Exercise improves immune function and promotes overall health. Moderate exercise improves blood flow and increases oxygen delivery, which may have a positive impact on skin health.
- **Stress Management:**
- **Benefits:** Long-term chronic stress can weaken the immune system and worsen skin conditions. Implementing stress management techniques (meditation, yoga, deep breathing, etc.) can help support the balance of skin flora.
- **Balanced Diet:**
- **Effects:** A healthy intestinal environment also influences the resident bacteria on the skin. By consuming dietary fiber and fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, koji, etc.), it is expected that the number of good bacteria in the intestines will increase.
- **Good quality sleep:**
- **Benefits:** Sleep strengthens the immune system and helps repair and regenerate skin. Good quality sleep is essential for healthy skin.
- **Activation of heat shock proteins:**
- **Benefits:** Heat therapies such as saunas and hot yoga may increase the activation of heat shock proteins and improve immune response.
- **Proper Moisturization:**
- **Effects:** Proper moisturization maintains the skin's barrier function and protects it from external stimuli and dryness. This helps maintain a stable state of the skin's resident bacteria.
- **Avoid excessive cleaning:**
- **Effectiveness:** Over-cleaning can strip away too much oil and negatively impact the skin's natural bacteria. It is important to use a gentle cleanser and avoid over-cleaning.
These lifestyle habits may help support the skin's natural bacteria and promote healthy skin. However, each individual's skin type and constitution will vary, so it's important to find a care method that suits you.
