You gotta keep it Circulated!

Regular exercise is key to maintaining naturally healthy skin, but hitting the gym for 30 minutes after sitting at a desk for hours on end just won’t cut it. One of the best things you can do for your skin, as well as your stress-levels and your health in general, is to move around and get your blood flowing throughout the day. Poor circulation caused by low activity during our work day can seriously affect your skin by causing puffiness, bloating, cellulite, acne, and even loss of muscle tone. Here are a few ways you can keep your circulation flowing and skin healthy throughout the day:
• Start everyday with a few stretches.

• Stand up and stretch a few times throughout the day.

• Go to the gym for a light workout at lunch.

• Take a couple quick breaks to go outside and take a walk around the block.
