The Connection Between Exercise and Skincare
Living holistically means caring for both our inner and outer worlds, understanding that each influences the other and everything is interconnected. Our skin, the body's largest organ, reflects our overall health. Skincare, therefore, goes beyond what we apply topically—it's about nurturing both body and mind from a holistic perspective.
One of the key components in this is exercise, which offers countless benefits not only for your health but also for your skin.
Benefits of Exercise for the Skin:
Increased Blood Flow: Exercise improves circulation, delivering essential nutrients to the skin and helping it stay vibrant and nourished.
Boosted Collagen Production: Collagen, a key protein for youthful, healthy skin, is stimulated by regular exercise, helping to maintain elasticity and prevent premature aging.
Toxin Release: Sweating during exercise helps purge toxins from the body through the skin, promoting clearer, healthier skin.
Stress Reduction: Exercise lowers stress levels by reducing cortisol, a hormone that, when elevated, breaks down collagen and contributes to skin issues like wrinkles and inflammation.
Better Sleep: Regular physical activity helps promote better sleep, which is essential for skin repair and regeneration. Better sleep means better skin!
For me, exercising daily is a must! It’s a simple way to not only take care of your body but also to support glowing, healthy skin.

We love the simple beauty of this 2 ingredient moisturizer. Sometimes we add our own face serums to this product to diversify our skincare routine. Simply add a few drops of your favorite serum to the Whipped All Over Butter and combine the two products in your palm before application.
Our Bloom Facial Whip contains an herbal infused face oil if you are looking for a product that contains both tallow and a face oil.
