BOOST RADIANCE: RESISTANCE

TRAINING AND YOGA

‘Resistance training elevates heart rate

and boosts blood flow, resulting in radiant

skin, while low-intensity yoga reduces

cortisol levels, which can reduce skin

pigmentation,’ says Dr Sturnham. Keep

workouts to under 60 minutes, as any

longer promotes the release of cortisol.

BEAT BLEMISHES: CYCLING

‘This low-intensity workout reduces

the stress hormone cortisol and IGF-1

growth factor levels to lessen breakouts,’

reveals Dr Sturnham. Try a 30-minute

steady cycle and avoid weights or

high-intensity interval training. The stress

of these workouts can trigger spots

if you’re already breakout-prone.

FIGHT WRINKLES: HIIT (HIGH-

INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING)

‘This appears to be the best form of

exercise in reducing free radical damage

and cell fatigue, identified as triggers

for skin ageing,’ explains Dr Sturnham.

Additionally, HIIT helps to promote

healthy collagen stores. Try a 20-minute

session to reap the benefits.
