"Rejuvenate Your Skin with Weight Lifting"

A new study published in Scientific Reports found that both aerobic exercise and weight training can improve the health of facial skin cells and tissue by altering gene expression. Resistance workouts, in particular, produced additional benefits beyond endurance exercise. The study involved middle-aged Japanese women and found that weight training increased the thickness of the dermal layer, while both forms of exercise improved elasticity and collagen production. Although more research is needed, the findings suggest that exercise, especially weight training, can have a positive impact on skin health and rejuvenation.
