Effects of Makeup on Skin During Exercise

A new study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reports the results of an intervention study on skin changes following the use of makeup while exercising on a treadmill. The study found that exercise causes changes in healing production, boosts metabolism, and indirectly alters the condition of the skin. The pilot study obtained data from a group of 43 college students without a history of chronic illness, and found that moisture levels, elasticity, number of pores, sebum levels, pH, and temperature all showed significant changes based on the use of cosmetic foundation cream during exercise.
