Alright, grab your favourite beauty serum and sit tight because we’re about to spill the tea on the ultimate skincare and haircare hack that won’t cost you a penny (or maybe would cost you a little bit but would be a long-term investment). Ready? It’s masturbation. Yes, you heard us, loud and clear. While we’ve been busy drowning in creams and supplements, the secret to glowing skin and luscious locks has been right at our fingertips or some BOBs could help too (you know Battery-Operated-Boyfriends?). Let’s dive into the fabulous perks of some quality me-time.
Stress Be Gone, Darling!
We all know stress is the villain behind breakouts, dull skin, and hair loss. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, is the culprit. Masturbation releases feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, which not only lift your spirits but also lower cortisol levels. Less stress means happier skin and healthier hair. Can I get an amen?
Pump Up the Volume—In Your Veins
When you get your groove on, your heart rate spikes, sending blood zooming through your veins. More blood flow equals more oxygen and nutrients for your skin and scalp. Think of it as a mini cardio session for your skin cells, leading to a radiant complexion and stronger, shinier hair. Who knew self-love could be such a glow-up?
The Endorphin Producer, Hello Happy Skin!
Orgasms are like little hormonal fiestas. Endorphins act as natural painkillers and mood elevators, while also reducing cortisol, which is also known to cause inflammation. Inflammation is usually followed by other skin issues like acne and premature ageing. So, by enjoying yourself, you’re literally soothing your skin from the inside out. You could totally call this a spa day.
Snooze Fest for Beauty Rest
We all crave beauty sleep, right? Masturbation helps you drift off by promoting relaxation and releasing prolactin, the sleepy-time hormone. Better sleep means better skin regeneration and repair, translating to fewer wrinkles and a more youthful glow. Sweet dreams, gorgeous!
Moisture Surge
Here’s a juicy tidbit: orgasms can boost skin hydration. The hormone DHEA, released during the Big O, enhances collagen production and skin moisture. So, while you’re having a grand old time, your skin gets an internal moisturising treatment. Who knew pleasure could be so hydrating? We did!
It Could Fix Your Bad Hair Days, Just Saying!
The benefits extend to your scalp, darling. Increased blood flow and those fabulous hormones lead to healthier hair follicles, reduced hair loss, and even faster growth. So, the next time you’re cursing a bad hair day, remember a little self-love might just be the fix you need.
Look, we’re not saying toss your skincare and haircare goodies—we’re all skincare junkies alike. But adding a bit of solo fun to your routine can supercharge your beauty regimen in ways you never imagined. It’s like the cherry on top of your self-care sundae. So, next time you’re hunting for a natural, cost-effective way to boost your glow and give your hair some extra love, remember: the magic is in your hands—literally.
