Exercise and Sagging
-
The jury is still out as to whether or not jogging, running or high-impact cardio causes wrinkles. Some joggers swear that they notice wrinkles, and some have observed no effect. However, the main culprit behind wrinkles is the sun; thus, runners and joggers who frequently work out in sunny climates may notice increased wrinkles and fine lines.
Facial Yoga
-
One increasingly trendy method to keep your skin young and youthful is facial yoga. Facial yoga involves doing simple facial exercises every day to keep skin healthy and supple. Examples may be raising your eyebrows, or pursing your lips repeatedly. These exercises are simple enough to do at your desk.

Diet is Key
-
While there is no evidence that exercise can reduce wrinkles, there is plenty of evidence that a smart diet can. Healthy fats, iron and plenty of water can indeed keep skin young, healthy and glowing. Avoiding caffeinated beverages can help to achieve this as well.
Sunscreen
-
If you are exercising outdoors, be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen. Again, too much UV exposure is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to wrinkles.
A Great Regimen
-
Remember, it is crucial to wash your skin before and after a workout. Irritants like sweat and makeup can irritate your skin, resulting in enlarged pores, acne and premature aging.
