00:00Whether you like it or not, sweating is one of the most significant signs of a healthy body and beautiful
00:05skin.
00:06Experts say perspiration can in fact help expel dirt and dead skin cells from the body and can even have
00:12an anti-aging effect, reports the HuffPost.
00:15U.S. dermatology partners says sweating produces a natural antimicrobial peptide called termcidin,
00:22which helps to destroy harmful bacteria on the skin, minimizing the risk for infection, acne breakouts, and flare-ups in
00:29chronic skin conditions.
00:30It also hydrates the skin. It works as a natural exfoliant and improves circulation.
00:36But if sweat is not properly managed, it can have unfavorable consequences.
00:40Excessive perspiration can result in skin irritation, rashes, and obstruct pores.
00:46It can also promote bacterial and fungal growth.
00:49Thankfully, it is easy to counter these effects with a good skin cleansing routine and by wearing breathable fabrics during
00:55physical activities or in hot climates.
00:58Lastly, focus on drinking lots of water, as sweating is dehydrating.
