A brisk workout may leave exercisers feeling good (thanks to those happy-making neurochemicals, endorphins), but can a single exercise session leave you looking better, too? You bet, Madfes says. "When you exercise, you increase blood flow everywhere, which gives you a nice, refreshed look," she says. Plus, exercise makes us healthier, which helps cells—including those in our skin—regenerate faster. Just don't forget to wear sunblock when exercising outdoors, she cautions. Products that block both UVA and UVB rays are best, she says. And remember to shower right after you hop off the trail or treadmill, she notes, because sweat can clog pores and cause blemishes.
