Let's talk about sex, baby!

Now, I'm not telling you to put on some slow jams with random strangers for skin benefits! I mean, you do you boo. What I can tell you is why the act of having sex benefits your skin. 

I mean does anyone ever wonder why Al Green always kind of sang about sex and looks great? I'm seeing some major correlations between Mister smooth talker and his skin...

So let's dive right into the benefits. No pun intended. Seriously, I didn't intend that. In fact, I'm so bad with puns.

So just like working out, sex helps improve blood circulation, increasing the flow of oxygen to the skin and other organs. This boosted circulation is what gives us the " I just had sex glow!"

Sex can also relieve stress. When your body is super stressed, you release the hormone, cortisol. Too much stress may be linked to wrinkles. Wrinkles aren't cute when you're young, so having sexy time can reduce the effects stress may have on your skin. 

Another benefit of sex is stronger hair and nails. Sex improves the body's ability to absorb and metabolize nutrients effectively. An increase in essential vitamins and minerals means healthier hair and nails.

So the next time you get bothered for that sexy time, just remember, it's good for your skin!
