The skin is an important organ of the human body and has moisturizing and barrier functions. Factors such as sunlight and lifestyle significantly affect these skin functions, with sunlight being extremely damaging. The effects of lifestyle habits such as smoking, diet, and sleep have been studied extensively. It has been found that smoking increases the risk of wrinkles, while excessive fat and sugar intake leads to skin aging. Lack of sleep and stress are also dangerous for the skin's barrier function. In recent years, the impact of exercise habits on skin function has been a focus of study. Regular exercise is associated with increased blood flow to the skin, elevated skin temperature, and improved skin moisture. Furthermore, it has been shown to improve skin structure and rejuvenate its appearance, possibly through promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis and affecting hormone secretion. Further research is needed to understand the effects of different amounts and content of exercise on the skin.
This study aims to briefly summarize the relationship between lifestyle and skin function and the mechanisms that have been elucidated so far and introduce the expected effects of exercise on skin function.
We conducted a review of the literature using PubMed and Google Scholar repositories for relevant literature published between 2000 and 2022 with the following keywords: exercise, skin, and life habits.
Exercise augments the total spectrum power density of cutaneous blood perfusion by a factor of approximately 8, and vasodilation demonstrates an enhancement of approximately 1.5-fold. Regular exercise can also mitigate age-related skin changes by promoting mitochondrial biosynthesis. However, not all exercise impacts are positive; for instance, swimming in chlorinated pools may harm the skin barrier function. Hence, the exercise environment should be considered for its potential effects on the skin.
This review demonstrates that exercise can potentially enhance skin function retention.
皮肤是人体重要器官,具有保湿和屏障功能。阳光和生活方式等因素会显著影响这些皮肤功能,其中阳光具有极大的破坏性。吸烟、饮食和睡眠等生活习惯的影响已得到广泛研究。研究发现,吸烟会增加皱纹风险,而过量摄入脂肪和糖分会导致皮肤老化。睡眠不足和压力对皮肤屏障功能也有危害。近年来,运动习惯对皮肤功能的影响一直是研究热点。经常运动与皮肤血流量增加、皮肤温度升高和皮肤水分改善有关。此外,运动可能通过促进线粒体生物合成和影响激素分泌来改善皮肤结构并使其外观恢复活力。需要进一步研究以了解不同运动量和运动内容对皮肤的影响。
本研究旨在简要总结生活方式与皮肤功能之间的关系以及目前已阐明的机制,并介绍运动对皮肤功能的预期影响。
我们使用PubMed和谷歌学术数据库对2000年至2022年间发表的相关文献进行了综述,关键词如下:运动、皮肤和生活习惯。
运动可使皮肤血液灌注的总频谱功率密度增加约8倍,血管舒张增强约1.5倍。经常运动还可通过促进线粒体生物合成减轻与年龄相关的皮肤变化。然而,并非所有运动影响都是积极的;例如,在含氯泳池游泳可能会损害皮肤屏障功能。因此,应考虑运动环境对皮肤的潜在影响。
本综述表明运动可能增强皮肤功能保持能力。
