While most people choose to engage in regular workouts for improved health, increased energy, and a more toned physique, daily gym sessions can have certain drawbacks, including leaving you with resting gym face. In fact, a number of aesthetic experts believe that extreme exercise makes you look older and contributes to premature signs of aging such as sunken cheeks, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Continue reading to learn what exactly causes “gym face” and how you can rejuvenate your appearance without surgery or giving up your favorite physical activities.

Why Exercise Leaves You With ‘Gym Face’

Extreme workouts can result in fat loss throughout the body as well as the face. This subsequent decrease in facial fat and volume is one of the main reasons why exercise makes you look older, especially for anyone over the age of 35. What’s more, high-impact exercises, like marathon running, can be particularly aging due the constant up and down motion and force at which skin is pulled from underlying muscles and bones. As a result, women and men can develop sunken cheeks, deepening folds, and under eye hollows – a look that has been dubbed “gym face.”

Who’s at Risk for ‘Gym Face’?

If you are concerned that exercise makes you look older, you may be wondering who is most vulnerable to premature signs of aging. Gym face is most commonly observed in individuals between 40-60, who engage in rigorous workouts several times a week and have a low percentage of body fat. Of this group, long-distance runners are at an increased risk due the high-impact nature of the activity.

How to Rejuvenate Skin Without Surgery?

There are a variety of ways that patients can rejuvenate their face without surgery, including Botox injections, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and non-invasive skin tightening treatments.

Lifestyle modifications can also help, including:

Increasing water intake

Decreasing mileage of runs

Wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen and hat during workouts

Introducing a lower-impact activity like cycling

You can find some guidance on this question in this article and this template. Here are the basics:

Your values and worldview

What do you think is important? What do you think the world is like, and how do you think we should come to beliefs about it? Your answers to these questions are part of your worldview. (For example, we discuss our worldview in our key ideas series.) Spend some time investigating and writing out answers to these questions — keeping in mind that you’ll never have a complete and fully confident answer.

Frameworks for comparing issues

Learn about different frameworks you can use to compare issues. For example, we often use the importance, neglectedness, and tractability framework, where how you assess the importance and tractability of problems is partially determined by your worldview. (See a more popular introduction to the framework.)

Start generating ideas

Once you have frameworks and your worldview clarified to some extent, you can start generating ideas for pressing problems, perhaps using other people’s lists to get started (like ours or others’ listed just below).

Compare

Now that you have your list of issues, compare them according to your worldview and using the frameworks you learned about above. Identify key uncertainties about your list, work out what research you might do to resolve those uncertainties, then go ahead and do it, and then reassess and repeat. If some of the issues on your list overlap with ours, you can use our problem profiles as a jumping-off point. Again, it would take a lifetime to get totally confident and make your list complete, so aim for action-relevant information instead. You can (and should) continue to think about which issues you think are most pressing throughout your career.
