If you want to give your skin the best chance at staying plump longer, you're going to want to get a job in either the sports or leisure industry, according to a study done by Beauty Pie.
After surveying 3,000 employees across 15 different industries, Beauty Pie found that the jobs with the lowest "skin-stressing" factors were jobs where working late and stress were rare. Jobs in sports or leisure also made it easier for employees to eat healthier. According to The New York Times, "vitamins A and C (abundant in fruits and vegetables), lycopene (found in tomatoes), astaxanthin (salmon), and polyphenols (green tea, dark chocolate)" are among the antioxidants that maintain skin health, helping you radiate a natural glow. Beauty Pie also says to make sure you're not skipping lunch because, just like lack of sleep, skipping lunch will mess with your skin's glow. After all, some foods help with dull skin in miraculous ways.
Exercise, another great way to increase antioxidants, also helps inflammation. Dr. Health Woolery-Lloyd told The New York Times that even "[j]ust going outside and seeing a tree and looking at a few birds is proven to lower inflammatory markers in our body."
The jobs that were the worst for your skin, though, were jobs in fields like science, hospitality and tourism, and construction. Beauty Pie found these jobs often required employees to work late or overnight, in offices where there's only artificial light and heating, or outside all day, all of which stress one's skin.
