A sagging skin, wrinkles… We try to rub against it, but can we do more to keep our skin radiantly young?
On Nu.nl we came across the following two articles:'Having sex regularly, makes for a younger appearance' and 'Older looking skin due to lack of sleep'. If we are to believe these two studies, we can indeed do more to keep our skin young:get enough sleep and have regular sex.
Have regular sex
A British neuropsychologist has examined 3,500 people between the ages of 18 and 102. Those who looked younger than their actual age generally had about 50 percent more sex than their peers.
What's up with that? Endorphins are produced during sex, a substance that is also produced when you are in love. In addition, the production of growth hormones is promoted, which is good for the elasticity of the skin. In addition, sex has a positive effect on your sleep, stress and blood circulation.
Sleep enough
Sleep deprivation means that your skin has less time to repair itself at night. Research commissioned by Estée Lauder shows that your skin ages twice as fast if you don't get enough sleep. Women who sleep too little have twice as many fine wrinkles, softer skin and a less even complexion than women who do sleep enough.
