Not your usual sweat-er weather
The sun is out and summer is definitely in full swing- and that means we’re all probably sweating up a storm! We get that getting sweaty and sticky isn’t usually the best feeling in the world, but before you turn the AC on full blast, maybe it’s time to give sweat a little bit of credit and discover the hidden benefits of sweating.
We’ve compiled a list of why sweat is good for you and and why you should definitely give sweat a second chance.
Healthier Skin
Sweat might make your skin feel sticky and gross, but it can also help clear it up! We all know that sweat goes through our skin- but more specifically, sweat passes through our pores. This means that every time we sweat it out, the sweat passing through our pores actually unclogs those pores of oil, dirt, and bacteria, leaving your skin fresher and clearer than before.
However, the dirt and grime that we flushed out of our pores still stays on top of our skin, and if left unattended can seep back into our freshly cleansed pores. This simply means that when you start feeling your pores open up and drop the sweaty stuff, you should be ready with a wipe to finally get rid of unwanted debris and protect your pores!
Endorphin Rush
Sweating also triggers a chemical reaction in your body, causing it to release endorphins. If you aren’t familiar, endorphins are hormones in our body that manage stress and pain, creating an enjoyable, natural sensation of relief.
So the next time you start sweating, maybe you shouldn’t be too stressed out about it- after all, your body isn’t!
