How Sex could give you a more glowing skin

One of the quickest ways to achieve a brighter, clearer and smoother complexion doesn’t necessarily involve a 15,000 – 20,000 FCFA body crème! Apparently, sex could do all the magic!

According to US dermatologist and psychiatrist, Amy Wechsler, “There’s much more to looking great than just retinol and Botox. Treating issues psychologically is as essential as treating them topically,” she tells Marie Claire magazine.

Meanwhile, sex – yes, the same sex you abuse, refuse and fuse – is one of the fastest exercises which helps the body (and not just the mind) glow! It changes your outlook and your appearance in just a few weeks or even days!

Sex, especially the one gotten from a loving and secured relationship, is a typical beauty bonus. According to a Scottish clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. David Weeks, sex helps you look four to seven years younger.

Sex helps to reduce stress, provides greater contentment and helps you get better sleep – all three things helps the body to relax and relaxation is a major healthy habit that makes a real difference in how you look and feel.

Frequent sex (meaning at least twice a week) also releases estrogen, which is great for your skin. You also have the advantage or opportunity to burn about as many calories by having sex. This could be equivalent to weight training or walking 3 meters per hour a day.

Sex is also the perfect sleeping pill. “The relaxing endorphins released during orgasm stick around for five minutes to an hour afterward, which may explain why people too stressed out to sleep drift off more easily after sex,” says Amy.

I understand some of you will ask, how about those who have no partners. Worry not! Who says you can’t please yourself to reap the same benefits?
