Getting steamy with your other half can bring big benefits, such as increasing your immunity, lowering stress and blood pressure, and improving heart health. It can also help turn back the clock, as sex stimulates the release of oestrogen and testosterone – boosting collagen and preventing hair loss. But what happens when you’ve no time to get in the mood, let alone have sex? Here’s how to feel sexy in less than a minute!
Quick spritz
Fragrances can have a big effect on your emotions, says Lush product perfumer Emma Dick. When you breathe in a scent, it arouses the limbic system (the brain’s emotional control centre). Want to feel sexier? Try upbeat, zesty notes like sharp orange, lemon and grapefruit or black pepper and coffee. Hibiscus is also great at giving your confidence a boost and will heighten the romantic atmosphere.
