NoFap = Better skin?

My skin is softer and more radiant. Look less tires, although I don't always feel it.
I'm starting to think my stubble has started to get a bit softer, same as my hair.

 

My skin is waaaay softer now. After a relapse, though, I do notice it feels rougher the next day. Sometimes too, I get acne the next day. I think there's vitamins and nutrients in semen that when retained, gets absorbed back into your body.

 

Yes. My skin has gotten better with NoFAP.
Edit: I would say that not just skin but even hairfall has reduced and quality of hair has not degraded. It is hard to notice any big improvement though, considering the fact that I had MO'ed for almost 11 years and have just started the NoFAP journey. Fixing all the damage done in the last 11 years, in just few months seems expecting too much too soon.

 

My skin definitely looks better. Usually around day 5 and day 6. Then I stop noticing it.

 

I noticed that my facial skin has improved tremendously ( no more visible open pores and no bumps) in 30 days. I am seriously awed by this improvement. Even my hair quality also improved a lot. Does NoFap means abstaining from sex also?

 

Same here, after relapses my skin goes from going better to bad. While on nofap, and like on 1 week I can see how my face skin improves.

 

I am not sure if going on nofap improves skin but I can definitely tell you that overmasturbating rekts it. I can tell you my experience from masturbating 10 times in 2 days. My skin felt tight or rough. It developed really red patches like rosacea or something. Then it started flaking non-stop. There were more bumps on my face and I looked terrible. I only decided to go on nofap recently so I can't really tell you any noticeable changes. But my skin seem to be worse but that could be from stress of abstaining. Quitting something you've did for a long time all of sudden can be really stressful. Stress leads to acne, ezcema flare ups and all sorts of things.

 

I'm 100% sure that PMO affects my hormones. After each relapse I had a breakout. I still remember my best streak(60 days) when my face looked so clean I couldn't actually believe it. I did NoFap because of acne and thought that since my skin looks good I can PMO once - fuck me.

 

Well my skin just got full of pimples after nofap, idk why but it's a weird case for me
Anyways I'm happy with where I am now

planemad, where did you get those oil splash brushes?

 

I can relate to this phenomena. It also reinvigorates the brain cells.

 

I think I found out what gets the improvement at least in my case.
I saw improvement in my skin, it doesn't feel so oily and seems softer. Sometimes I notice my face feel slightly changed in a better way. The hair feels better too.
But actually it wasn't "nofap" which triggered it. I did fap once in this period, but still saw the improvement regardless of this.
I didn't exercise, I didn't mediate, I didn't eat healthy, I didn't do anything special to self improve, I did fap with the same frequency as before (something like once a week), but still saw the improvement.
The only thing I did is that I stopped all thoughts about women, sexual thoughts and sexual desires. I think sexual desire somehow messes up with the hormones and this way the body suffers. After a week of no sexual thoughts, I've noticed the changes. This means no porn, no pictures of attractive women - naked or with clothes, and ignoring and canceling all sexual thoughts

 

I do notice thicker hair and thinning hair correlating with NoFap

 

Fascinating, are you certain there has been absolutely nothing else changed? Are you going outside more, drinking water more, eating differently, exercising differently, applying any cosmetics, etc.?

 

If the question is for me - no I didn't changed my routine, I eat the same food, I don't exercise, I go to work at the same hours, I sleep in the same time frame. I use the same cosmetics. I did nothing special. I only started avoiding sexual thoughts and I don't think about women or other things which can lead to sexual pleasure.
One side effect is that now I don't feel a need to watch porn, I don't feel the need to fap. Feels like my body is rewarding me that I don't mess up with hormones (I'm not sure if this is the case, but probably it is) and don't do stuff which may lead to sexual desire.

 

For me I'm certain that nothing else has changed. I exercise, eat, go outside on a routine, and basically drink the same amount unless I have work day because I can't really much go pee till around lunch time. Cosmetics are exactly the same.

 

Yes I very well agree to you. I was very badly addicted to porn and masturbation and I started my Nofap journey last year and my max streak was 5 days and this is the first time that I have reached a 2 digit number days so what I felt is the quality of skins improves a lot. I'm seeing the change in 17 days and you'll have a glow in your face no matter how your skin is not matter what's your complexion your skin will glow.

 

Yes I'm feeling the same thing from past few days.

 

FormerFapaholic in my case It probably helps my hair more, case I bathe more days now.

 

I've been told getting breakouts during a Nofap streak is caused by an increase in testosterone production...when I was actually doing everything right it took about 28 days to see way more pimples. If there are other physical benefits to extract from what I'm practicing, I'll find out within the next month or two. It's been a source of curiosity to see some of the physical changes (clear skin included) that Nofap has to offer.
