Re: exercise, - types of flushing

[Guest guest]

hi again,

I think exercise in helping your overall body will

help with your skin. The key is to take breathers

during exercise along with drinking lots of water.

Personally i found that exercise itself made it no

better or worse. I mean i worked for 8 months and no

major difference. I stopped for 6 months and the same.

So i don't think it makes a big difference plus the

benefits to body and mind are wonderful.

Hope this helps but all cases are different.

Cheers,

Bob
