> I've noticed that the more I exercise, the cleaner + healthier my skin is. Showers only get me partly there

Define "cleaner"? What is not clean about your skin that requires exercise to get clean? After every shower, my skin is just "clean"?

My face skin looks way better with regular exercise. Something about the pores + overall tone. I start to notice a difference after 2 sedentary days, and am repulsed by it after a week+ without exercise. I also get a musk coming from my groin that seems to seep through clothes, and is barely affected by showering.

By sedentary I mean full-on jacked-in to the Matrix, 14 hour days on the computer. Someone with a more balanced life will probably experience it differently.

Agreed. The more I exercise, the better I smell.

Interesting. Exercising has positive effects on me, but my skin seems unaffected. (I certainly believe you, though.)

I think he meant 'clearer'.
