According to research, sex life and acne are indeed connected, but it would be wrong to say that having sex regularly reliably protects against acne.
It is just one factor that reduces the likelihood of developing the condition.
Acne occurs for many reasons, one of them being hormonal imbalance. In particular, acne can be caused by an excess of male hormones called androgens.
Sex triggers the production of the female sex hormone estrogen in the female body, which balances out other hormones and prevents acne lesions.
After sex, the body produces the endorphins, known as the "happy hormones," that promote epithelial cell growth and accelerate skin regeneration (when old cells are exfoliated and replaced with new ones).
Sex improves blood circulation, which oxygenates the skin. It has also been proven that it enhances the production of collagen, the skin's building material, which makes it elastic.
