There is no doubting that you can get a super body by taking part in sport regularly, but super skin is often an unwanted side effect of all the blood, sweat and tears. If you're an active sole, but don't want to compromise the quality of your skin, you might like to consider these sports.

Surfing. Aside from the benefits of the sun (which is mentioned later), surfing can have some wonderful benefits on tired or blemished skin. The fresh sea air acts to cleanse pores of many chemicals and toxins that are found in town environments. People have been visiting the coast for thousands of years to help fight illness, and the benefits are the same for your skin as well. Further more, you will naturally be exposing your skin to grains of sand and salt in the water, with both soften and exfoliate it perfectly. Who needs spa days when you have the ocean to look after you?

Golf. Among other things, stress is a major contributor to poor skin complexion. When you feel anxious or stressed, the body produces unbalanced levels of hormones and this leads to excess oils being produced by pores. The excess oils have the result of blocking the skin pores and creating the perfect oxygen-free environment for bacteria to grow, which in turn leads to spots. Sports such as golf have been proven to combat high stress levels and the physiological side effects that come with it, and regular golf players have some of the lowest stress levels of all sports performers. So if your skin is in need of some relaxation from all those intensive beauty products, your local golf course is the place to go.

Skiing. Scientists have been studying the effects of UV rays on the skin for many years and a good number believe they can really help some bad skin condition. It is even prescribed by some doctors to help with conditions such as acne and eczema. However, it is difficult to get the benefit of the sun without the heat and sweatiness that comes with it, and this causes other problems. Winter sports are one way to get some exposure to the sun's rays without getting all hot and sweaty and blocking the pores with the oils you're trying to avoid.
