Overall, the science behind that “love glow” is a combination of several elements at once: oxytocin reducing stress levels, increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin due to more blood flow, and maybe a spike in DHEA increasing skin hydration after sex.

Being in love is a wonderful feeling that can positively impact multiple aspects of our lives, including our skin. The connection between love and glowing skin may seem unlikely, but our body releases happy hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin when we are in love. These hormones have a direct correlation with our skin health, resulting in more radiant and youthful-looking skin. Additionally, doing skincare routines with our partner, like facials, can be an excellent way to enjoy each other's company while nourishing our skin. In this blog post, we will explore the role of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin in skin health and how they connect with being in love.

The Brain Hormones and Skin Health Connection:

When we are in love, our brain releases hormones such as oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These hormones have positive effects on our physical and mental health, and they can also significantly impact our skin health. Oxytocin is known as the "love hormone," and it plays a crucial role in building trust, bonding, and intimacy. When we experience oxytocin release, it reduces inflammation, promotes wound healing, and stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Dopamine, known as the "feel-good hormone," also has a positive impact on our skin. It helps regulate sebum production, reduces inflammation, and promotes circulation, leading to brighter and more even-toned skin. Lastly, serotonin, the "happiness hormone," reduces cortisol levels, which are linked to stress-related skin issues like acne and eczema.

This means, take advantage of all of the natural mood-boosters our bodies give us and foster a deeper connection with your partner. 

YELLE has transitioned to a wellness brand, and our focus is on making the connection deeper within our mind, body and soul. You can have that same connection with your lover while we take on this love season.

Skincare Routines with Your Partner:

Incorporating skincare routines with our partner can be a wonderful way to enhance our skin health and enjoy each other's company. Doing facials, face massages, and other treatments that foster relaxation and intimacy with our loved one can lead to a reduction in stress, which has a direct link with skin health. Additionally, skincare routines and treatments can provide an opportunity to bond and build trust with our partner, further boosting the release of happy hormones like oxytocin.
