She says that she regularly asks her patients about their living habits, even about their intimacy and intercourse frequency.

There is a very distinct and logical connection between dissatisfaction and stress caused by sexual abstinence on the one hand and skin health on the other.

- I think it may seem weird to many people at first, so they refrain from answering, but in time they come to realise the idea behind this.  They see that there is a very distinct and logical connection between dissatisfaction and stress caused by sexual abstinence on the one hand and skin health on the other - Dr Wechsler explains. 

She points out that what is happening in your daily life is visible on our skin and it affects the way it looks, its health, elasticity and texture.

- For example, stress, sleepless nights and anxiety can have a negative impact on your delicate skin, resulting in dullness, fine lines, and sensitivity.  However, regular physical activity, sufficient fluid intake, going for walks or spending time with your friends and any type of relaxing and enjoyable activity in general can contribute to feeling better - Dr Wechsler says.

Intimacy rejuvenates

It is a well known fact that regular intercourse affects the functionality of glands and triggers the release of hormones, both of which are very important for skin health.  Studies have shown that women who are sexually active tend to have higher levels of estrogen since the hormone levels increase during orgasm. Estrogen is key for the normal functioning of the skin, blood vessels, hair follicles...

At the same time orgasms release oxytocin, which lowers stress levels.  Less cortisol leads to less breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to fewer wrinkles and overall better looking skin.
