Sex is good for your skin, so what are you waiting for?

The shelf in my bathroom is filled from left to right with jars, tubes, bottles with droppers, and even a huge bottle of face spray. I drum, smear, and spray everything on my skin in the right order, so I am just a bit more radiant to go out the door. Once a quarter, I even treat myself to a connective tissue massage on the taut skin around my jaws. But what turns out? It's all unnecessary, because a little bit of sex is all you need for beautiful skin.

That sex is healthy should be no secret. It's actually a wonder that we don't do it en masse during coffee breaks, it has so many benefits. Although I dare say that working from home probably promotes this. Getting down to it is not only good for the body, it also has all sorts of beneficial psychological effects. But now it turns out that it also works wonderfully well for cultivating beautiful skin.

It is important to define what we mean by sex, explains nutritional and hormone expert Alissa Vitti to Huff Post. In this case, it is about reaching an orgasmic plateau and the intention is for this to last as long as possible. Besides the fact that such an extended orgasm is immensely enjoyable, it also provides more health benefits per second. You produce oxytocin, better known as the cuddle hormone, and natural nitric oxide.

All nice of course that production, but what effect does it have on your skin? It is precisely these two substances that promote collagen production, balance your hormones, and break down excess cortisol. It even helps to counteract aging. When everything is in balance and performing perfectly, your skin also gets the chance to perform to perfection. Sex with a climax also has a beneficial effect on sleep, and that can’t hurt in the recovery of your skin. It doesn’t matter how, with what, or who you have sex, as long as it ends orgasmically, your skin will already be satisfied. Solo sex is just as effective.

By the way, it's also recommended to make it a sweaty session, because the hormone expert also emphasizes that sweating has one of the best effects on your skin. It helps get the blood circulation going and – boy oh boy – if you don’t get a J.Lo glow from that, then we don’t know what will.
