Spending a lot of time on the trail in your hiking boots or picking up the pace in your trail running shoes can definitely bestow you with a healthy glow thanks to all that fresh air, vitamin D and exercise. However, it can also leave your skin looking a little less radiant as the years go by – something I’ve noticed in myself as well as within my hiking and running friends. The summer months can bring redness and rashes while colder weather makes my skin dry and dull looking.
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to sacrifice my time on the trails for more youthful-looking skin, and though I tend to rely on sun protection for hikers and using lots of oil on my skin to combat all the time I spend on the trail, I was curious to know if there’s more I could be doing. I am, after all, getting old.
