orgaSKIN: The Connection Between Your Sex Life and Skin Health

Happy Sexy Sunday!!!

I had the most amazing idea while in the shower this morning: exploring the connection between sex and skin health. I wondered how a person’s sex life affects their skin quality, for better or worse. Sex can be a sensitive topic and is for many reasons, but its just as much a part of self-care as a facial. Sex is our birthright, and it directly impacts the skin. My guess? The healthier a person’s sex life is, the lower their stress levels, and the better their skin. While I am not encouraging anyone to have sex, I am certainly not advising against it. Like I said, sex is our birthright. Let’s get sexy and explore the connection between sex and skin health:

Increased Blood Circulation

We should all know by now that our skin thrives on oxygen and blood flow. Scientific studies have proven that orgasms can enhance blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells and creating that post-sex glow. Excuse me?! Do you mean to tell me I can make my skin glow with the power of my own life force energy? Sign. Me. Up. Matter of fact, orgasming just became my new part-time role. Thank ya!

Collagen Production

One key characteristic of youthful skin is strong collagen and elasticity. Sex decreases cortisol and increases oxytocin, which helps maintain a fresh, firm complexion. As we age, collagen levels decline, and our skin loses elasticity. Perhaps you aren’t due for Botox—you just need an earth-shattering orgasm (or two) to reduce those fine lines and wrinkles. Or feel free to indulge in both. This is a judgment-free zone wink wink.

Hormonal Balance

Estrogen and testosterone play a huge role in skin hydration and oil production. Regular sexual activity can help regulate these hormones. Find a way to keep things balanced—if you know what I mean.

Sweating & Detoxification

The sweat produced during intercourse can help unclog pores and detoxify the skin. Consider it a sexy steam facial.

Conclusion

The purpose of this post was to educate you on the many ways some steamy sex can benefit your skin. Writing this has empowered me in more ways than one. Let this be your reminder to care for your sexual well-being as much as you do your skin.

Now go forth and glow, babe.

With love,
