Apparently running is great for our skin! I read this article recently which says'
"Step away from the Botox. A US study found that after a group of sedentary over 65's worked out for 30 minutes twice a week for three months, their skin looked similar to that of 20-40 year olds. " Exercise releases myokines - messengers that tell your skin to behave younger" says cosmetic dermatologist. In the study people ran or cycled at 65% of their maximum".
I'm not over 65. I wonder if it works for younger folks?

This is very good news IP. Liking the sound of those my-ok-iness. Not over 60 just yet but Hubby remarked this evening that my skin was looking more 'rustic'. Probably meant like a shed-dwelling welder's mit.
Ha ha. How very dare he! Were you in touching distance when he uttered those immortal words? Hmm thought not! Cheeky feck im!
I read something along those lines as well so keep peering closely at my much-lined fizog with a critical eye but have seen no improvements at all. Sigh.
Oh indeed. My native near sightedness and my old age loss of vision are converging so that even the ever shrinking 'sweet spot' of glasses free vision is in soft focus. i look great when I am getting dressed, but once I have the glasses on.
When encouraged, most earnestly (!) , to explain 'rustic' fondest hubcap explained it was that I didn't look so white and pasty-faced since I stopped being an office mole.
I suppose it was his navigation and cracking cookery skills that hooked me and not any particular talent for ego smoothing, but frankly, when everything else is going wrinkly a bit of smoothing in any area is welcome!
