I've heard that running can cause my skin to age, is this true?

Whilst running itself can help to delay the effects of ageing, it is true that if you spend a lot of time outside without adequately protecting your skin, you do risk premature wrinkles. In order to combat this you should protect your skin all year round and not just during the summer months.

A splash of sunscreen or a makeup primer that contains an SPF will help to protect your face against the sun’s ultraviolet rays as well as the harsh winter elements.
