[b]Running wrecks your skin worse than the sun. I don't get why women do it,[/quote][/b]

Wait, why is running itself bad for skin (aside from the sun damage from being outside)?[/quote]

There is a misconception (yes, a misconception) that running [b]bounces[/b] you and is rough on the skin - causing it to sag, etc.  You will hear this from people all the time.  In reality it is the sun damage (any exposure to sun over periods of time damage your skin regardless of sunscreen) and usually runners tend to be thin.  It is the dilemma of your face or your ass, which do you want to look good.

In reality if you are lighter and once in your 40s you will age.  Your skin will sag and you will lose the volume in your face.  People will say botox helps (it helps with forehead lines and the v that appears between the lines) but that is about it.  Lines and creases can be helped with fillers - but it is usually short lived (18 months) and makes the face look puffy and fat.  You can do threading in the face, which will also give you a few years of a better look and is similar to a facelift in that it will take off years.

For most women aging isn't that big of a deal. But if you are switching companies and trying to get positions it can be, and most professionals end up doing mini facelifts and threading to appear younger.

Sunscreen is the most important thing to help.  But the issue is that you should have been doing that in the 20s to prevent that aging in the 40s.  Wearing sunscreen now (40s) is to prevent aging in the 60s.[/quote]

Running and sunning at any age is going to do permanent damage. It accelerates your skin's aging, but every day I see foolish women l doing both.[/quote]

Huh?  Running and sunning. I run at 5am so no sun there. Lots of people run at off hours (dawn/ dusk).

I know a lot of thin women who do a lot of yoga and eat well. And I know a lot of runners. Runners look awful when they hit 50 - their faces are gaunt and just so ugly. And their butts and chests are flat and saggy, no matter how thin.

Until the pandemic, I only ran about 15 miles a week, so not much, but I did a lot of hot yoga and pilates. I'll probably not go back to running again unless it's interval training with a trainer or in a class. Long distance runners look bad as they get older. I can pick them out at a dinner party. No one looks worse in a dress and makeup.
