Abstract

Physical activity (PA) is crucial for a healthy lifestyle and significantly impacts skin health by boosting blood circulation, skin cell metabolism, stress regulation and anti-inflammatory compound production. However, intense exercise or exercise without protective measures can negatively affect the skin, causing irritation, redness, and even skin cancer. This review compiles studies on the effects of physical activity on skin health. PA benefits skin health by enhancing blood flow, which boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery, leading to a healthier complexion. It also increases endorphin production, reducing stress and inflammation. Regular PA improves sleep, aiding skin cell repair through increased human growth hormone. To optimize the role of PA in promoting skin health, it is essential to monitor individual skin type and sensitivity during PA. Additionally, prudent use of sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and appropriate post-exercise skin hygiene is crucial. In summary, PA represents a double-edged sword in relation to skin health; while moderate exercise can enhance skin health, intense exercise or inadequate protective measures may exacerbate skin disorders.

体育活动对皮肤健康的影响：述评

体育活动（PA）对健康的生活方式至关重要，并通过促进血液循环、皮肤细胞代谢、压力调节和抗炎化合物的产生，显著影响皮肤健康。然而，剧烈运动或不采取保护措施的运动会对皮肤产生负面影响，引起刺激、发红，甚至皮肤癌。这篇综述汇编了关于体育活动对皮肤健康影响的研究。PA通过促进血液流动，促进氧气和营养物质的输送，从而促进皮肤健康，使肤色更健康。它还能增加内啡肽的分泌，减少压力和炎症。经常使用PA可以改善睡眠，通过增加人体生长激素来帮助皮肤细胞修复。为了优化PA在促进皮肤健康方面的作用，在PA期间监测个体皮肤类型和敏感性至关重要。此外，谨慎使用防晒霜、防晒服和适当的运动后皮肤卫生是至关重要的。总之，PA对皮肤健康是一把双刃剑；虽然适度运动可以促进皮肤健康，但剧烈运动或保护措施不足可能会加剧皮肤疾病。

期刊介绍： Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal. Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care. All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
