Does making love make the skin more beautiful? Here is what science reveals

A real “Glow attitude” on edge

After a sexual intercourse, there is often an immediate good -looking effect: pink cheeks, luminous complexion, relaxed expression. This reaction is explained by an increase in blood flow in the face, powered by cardiovascular activity.

Beauty amplifying hormones

During orgasm, several hormones play a role in the sparkle of the skin:

  • Estrogens promote the production of collagen and improve hydration.

  • Oxytocin, nicknamed “Hormone of Love”, reduces stress, inflammation and promotes skin regeneration.

  • The endorphins, on the other hand, relax the facial muscles and soften the features.

Sleep better, to better regenerate your skin

After sex, falling asleep is often facilitated. A more restful sleep optimizes cell regeneration, essential for firm, bright and plump skin.

A global well-being routine

Doing love can integrate into a global care routine, provided you are listened to, desired and without pressure. Even solo sexuality can generate beneficial effects on skin shine, via the same hormonal and emotional mechanisms.
