Some time ago, I received a message from a fan backstage:
Tao Tao Yuan, I started to exercise these days, and my skin began to grow a lot of red acne, and my mood became gloomy.
The point is, there are so many mirrors in the gym that I can see myself from any angle. So I put on concealer to work out, and the result was even worse.
Is it because exercise increases hormones, and hormones cause acne? Should I exercise or not!
Is there a relationship between exercise and endocrine? Not only is it relevant, it is simply too important!
Today, let's have a good chat about this topic.

Exercise in different ways, intensities and durations will regulate the synthesis and secretion of various hormones, which will have a profound impact on the endocrine system.
The most well-known thing is that children's height increases rapidly during their growth and development, which is closely related to the massive secretion of growth hormone caused by exercise.
Some children with relatively short parents can rise from the ground at an alarming speed, mainly due to their usual exercise habits.
On the contrary, many children have a good nutritional status, and their parents are tall and straight, but they are short and thin, which requires a deep review of whether there are serious deficiencies in exercise and sleep during their growth.
By cultivating good exercise habits and ensuring sleep time, it is entirely possible to achieve short children's height from behind.
For adults, exercise also plays an important role in endocrine regulation.
For example, exercise can effectively regulate female estrogen secretion.
I believe everyone will have the impression that women who often participate in sports Sex, hair and skin tone will be more shiny, menstruation will be more regular, and the overall mental state will be fuller.
Similarly, for men, regular exercise is also conducive to regulating testosterone secretion and promoting muscle synthesis, so men's body shape is more fit.
But everything should be done in degree. Too frequent or too intense exercise will inhibit testosterone secretion.

So what is moderate and what is excessive?
This varies from person to person, and there is no absolute cutting point.
For most people, recommend 333 exercise method That is, 3 times a week, 30 minutes each time, and the heart rate reaches 130 beats/min during exercise.
For the sake of health, beauty, and to prevent endocrine disorders, let's move!

Let's go back to the relationship between fitness and acne.
As early as the last century, Kligman, the founder of dermatology, systematically expounded the relationship between exercise and acne:
In the 1990 s, studies found that rugby players wearing helmets were particularly prone to acne on their faces, especially on the chin where the helmet was fixed, which had the greatest pressure and the most acne.
And baseball players or cyclists also have acne, that is, acne along the forehead of the baseball cap;
For girls who swim or run, acne will grow near the sports bra against the body skin.
Dermatologists believe that exercise itself does not cause acne.
Only in the case of mechanical skin friction, if there is a skin condition of high temperature and high humidity at the same time, a small red rash will appear on the skin, so this kind of skin problem has a name:
Mechanical acne

In addition to reducing fat, some sports and fitness friends also want to gain muscle, so they will eat protein powder or a lot of dairy products.
These substances contain IGF, which will increase skin oil secretion and may block hair follicles, resulting in acne.
In addition, if relevant activities are not carried out in time after exercise Clean (Sweat immersion increases the chance of skin being infected by fungi or bacteria sharply, especially for people who have already developed acne, and there is a high probability that acne will break out) And Moisturizing (For example, if you don't moisturize after swimming, the disinfectant of pool water may aggravate dry skin) , red acne will also appear...

There is no problem with fitness, and exercise itself won't break acne. The key is that some clothes, helmets, eating habits and skin care methods related to exercise will cause skin problems!
