---Transcript---I think we all can all agree that sex has its benefits...and now we can add good skin to that list.  Luckily, we can thank a couple of dermatologists for their study of how sex affects our skin during... and after. You might be surprised at all of the benefits you get… from a better complexion to a healthy glow.. and even preventing menstrual acne flareups. Let’s dive right in to this hot and heavy topic, shall we?!Have you ever noticed that after sex, your skin kind of glows? There's a flush to your cheeks, a light misting of sweat, and your skin looks healthy and alive. Well, it’s not your mirror lying to you...you are seeing the skin benefits from having sex. According to Melissa Piliang a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic, "Sex increases blood flow to the skin, which will give you a brighter complexion." This increase in blood flow basically provides an oxygen boost to the skin so you get that immediate glow that’s better than a Tom Ford highlighter. And fortunately the benefits don’t stop there. Sex can significantly reduce stress...and when you’re stressed out, your skin...being the largest organ in the body… takes the hardest hit. Stress triggers inflammation and can cause breakouts… Stress also makes skin conditions like rosacea and psoriasis worse.But before you grab your partner and run for the bedroom...let’s take a look at some other amazing benefits a little love-making session can have on your skin. Having sex reduces cortisol levels which can improve collagen production. Cortisol is ‘the stress hormone’ and when the body produces extra cortisol, it can break down the most abundant protein in our skin...which is collagen....Collagen is what helps keep our skin elastic, supple, and smooth. You know when you pinch your grandma’s skin on the back of the hand and it stays pinched for a while before it recovers… that’s because of lack of collagen. So you want as much collagen as you can getBroken down collagen basically leads to wrinkles and scars. So the more sex you have, the more collagen you have… keeping your skin plump and smooth...even if you are stressed out all of the time.The best news...the benefits keep going even after you’re done. Regular sex has lasting benefits to keep a clear complexion and younger skin. By consistently lowering cortisol levels over time...it keeps skin clear and healthier looking...and for a little added bonus...the regulation of hormones and estrogen helps prevent menstrual breakouts.But what kind of loving-making is needed to reap all of these skin benefits?Thankfully, you don't have to dedicate hours to making love...unless you want to, go for it! But it is really all about the orgasm… because the more energy that is expended, the better circulation and higher blood pressure...which leads to increased hydration in the skin. Having an orgasm can also help you relax. Have you ever noticed that after you have one you feel a sense of calm? If you answered yes, you’re not alone...studies and surveys show that most people feel the same way.Men experience it even more. After an orgasm, men release two brain chemicals... one helps to reduce stress levels, and the other actually regulates sleep…which can explain a men’s tendency to fall sleep after sex. Back to the skin… A 2009 study at the University of Michigan found out that having an orgasm raises the levels of estrogen in your body. You might be asking...why is that a good thing?  Estrogen appears to help in the prevention of aging skin in a number of ways...First, it prevents the breakdown of collagen… that all too important protein for maintaining young looking skin. And second, it also helps with skin thickness, keeping skin resistant to wrinkles because collagen production keeps the skin wall strong and intact. And finally...estrogen helps lock in the skin’s moisture, keeping the skin plump.Science also supports the idea that frequent sex and affection make people happy.They found people were no longer tired, they are stress-free, and glowing…And that glowing smile actually makes people think you’re younger. A 2016 study confirms that when people smile they were actually perceived as looking younger.And the best thing about sex as skincare... it doesn’t involve any expensive purchases or trips to the beauty store. It’s great for all skin types. It can be applied before or after any serum, cream, or other skincare product. It also work well as part of your morning, or evening skincare routine, or both. So go make love. CUTAre they gone yet? What? Can you check one more time? Come on people, what are you still doing here. Grab your partner and go get the best sex skin in your life. Make it happen
