Is sex good for your skin<\/em>? Read up before you go down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

When it comes to caring for your skin, there\u2019s a good chance that your first instinct is to apply a series of products<\/a> (such as vitamin C<\/a>, niacinamide<\/a>, and retinol<\/a>) and drink as much water as possible. And while research has proven that active ingredients<\/a> can improve your complexion (and dermatologists swear by a simple, consistent routine), it\u2019s not the only way you can get glowing skin. For example, there are foods you can eat for clear, bright skin<\/a>. But what if we told you catering to your complexion can be a whole lot sexier?<\/p>\n\n\n

That\u2019s right: Sex has several benefits for skin. We spoke to experts about how exactly spicing things up in the bedroom can soothe your complexion. Read on to learn more about the link between sex and skin.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is Sex Good for Your Skin<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

In short, yes, sex is good for your skin. That\u2019s because sex is a form of exercise, and exercise is good for your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThere are known health benefits to regular exercise,\u201d NYC-based board-certified dermatologist Brendan Camp, MD<\/a>, says. \u201cFor example, an increased heart rate moves blood through the body at a faster rate. [This] can increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, and ultimately usher away toxins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

But it\u2019s more complex than just getting physical that leads to the benefits of sex for your skin. Here, we break down exactly how and why getting busy will leave you fresh-faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex and Skin FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n

1. Can sex improve skin health?<\/strong>
Yes, sex can improve skin health by increasing blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin, and by lowering stress levels, which may reduce stress-related skin conditions like acne.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Does sex help with acne?<\/strong>
Sex can indirectly help with acne by reducing stress and balancing hormones, both of which are common acne triggers. However, it is not a direct cure for acne.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Does sweating during sex affect skin health?<\/strong>
Sweating can help unclog pores by flushing out impurities, but leaving sweat on the skin too long may lead to clogged pores. Washing your face after sex can help prevent breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Can sex hormones improve skin appearance?<\/strong>
Yes, the release of hormones like estrogen and oxytocin during sex can promote a healthy glow and improve skin elasticity. These effects are temporary and part of the post-sex “glow.”<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Can sexual activity impact conditions like rosacea or eczema?<\/strong>
Sexual activity might temporarily alleviate some skin conditions by lowering stress, but it may also trigger flare-ups in some people due to increased body temperature or sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n

6. Does sex affect collagen production or skin aging?<\/strong>
While there\u2019s no direct evidence that sex boosts collagen, the stress-reducing and circulation-boosting benefits of sex may support overall skin health, potentially slowing signs of aging over time.<\/p>\n\n\n

5 <\/strong>Benefits of Sex for Skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

To fully understand how having sex is good for your skin, read about the five complexion-enhancing pros of getting it on.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Sex Delivers a Post-Coital Glow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Does sex make your skin glow? Yes, according to experts. \u201cA post-coital glow is similar to a glow you may get after an intense workout, in which increased blood flow, a glisten from sweat, and an endorphin rush temporarily improve one\u2019s complexion,\u201d Dr. Camp says. So if you feel like your skin looks lit from within after doing the deed, it\u2019s not in your head. It really does give you a glow.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Sex Can Reduce Inflammatory Skin Concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Research<\/a> has shown that higher levels of stress are strongly correlated to an increase in acne severity. Plus, stress can worsen conditions like eczema and psorasis. But getting it on could help\u2014in a similar way that working out can too. \u201cSex and exercise may reduce stress,\u201d Dr. Camp says. And a reduction in stress means a potential reduction in inflammatory skin conditions<\/a> exacerbated by excessive worrying.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Sex Can Boost Collagen Production<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Collagen is a protein<\/a> that acts as the building block of skin. As we age, collagen levels decrease, but our levels can also be negatively affected by stress. Studies<\/a> have confirmed that stress impacts the skin\u2019s collagen by releasing cortisol<\/a>, which breaks collagen down. But according to board-certified dermatologist Jennifer MacGregor, MD<\/a>, of NYC’s Union Square Dermatology, sex actually reduces cortisol (the stress hormone). This makes way for collagen production<\/a> and maintenance to promote fresh, rejuvenated skin and sidestep fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Sex Leads to Better Sleep, Which Leads to Better Skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

While sleep can boost your immune system<\/a> and improve your mental health<\/a>, it can also help your skin. How? \u201cSex often leads to a good night\u2019s sleep<\/a>,\u201d says sexologist and We-Vibe sex expert Jess O\u2019Reilly, PhD<\/a>. \u201cGood sleep habits<\/a> are associated with cell repair, balanced hormones, improved eating habits, less stress, happier relationships, and a strong immune system\u2014all of which are likely to contribute to healthy, glowing skin.\u201d It\u2019s true: Research<\/a> found that poor sleep quality is associated with increased signs of skin aging, decreased skin barrier function, and lower satisfaction with overall appearance.\u00a0 Plus, your skin\u2019s cell renewal rate<\/a> peaks between the hours of 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., which means a good night\u2019s sleep can lead to a bright, clear complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Sex Can Help Defy Signs of Aging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

As Dr. O\u2019Reilly points out, frequent sex improves skin (and hair!) quality, which leads to a more lively and refreshed appearance overall.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cResearchers believe that these beauty benefits are triggered by increased levels of DHEA<\/a> during sex. Neuropsychologist Dr. David Weeks\u2019 studies<\/a> suggest that the more often you have sex, the younger you look,\u201d she says. \u201cThose who reported having sex an average of four times per week looked approximately 10 years younger than their actual age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Caveat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Take note that there’s one potential con linked to sex and skin health: It can potentially lead to breakouts. Just as exercise can cause post-workout breakouts<\/a>, Dr. Camp says that sex can lead to breakouts without proper post-coital skincare. \u201cIf a buildup of sweat, oil, and grime lingers on the skin, it can contribute to clogged pores<\/a> and the formation of acne,\u201d he explains. Because of this, cleanse your face sooner than later. Or, if you\u2019re prone to body acne<\/a>, take a quick rinse (partner optional.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Woman<\/figure>\n\n\n

The Takeaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Yes, sex is good for your skin. But here’s the real kicker: You don’t need to have partnered sex to enjoy the benefits of sex for skin. That\u2019s right\u2014you can usher in your most radiant complexion by masturbating (with or without sex toys<\/a>).Whether you\u2019re intimate with a partner or solo, having orgasms<\/a> will cause a spike in oxytocin, a key component in all the benefits listed above. Consider this your sign to get it on: Sex and healthy skin go *hand in hand.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
