In an ideal world, we’d all be catching our Os on the regular. But masturbation is a conversation often left in the shadows. Especially for those of us raised with vaginas.
But self-on-self action just has too many benefits for both your life and your skin to be kept out of the spotlight. From reducing the effects of stress, to the skin-boosting chemicals released during orgasm, to one study that showed those who experienced sexual pleasure three times a week looked, on average, ten years younger than their actual age.
That’s why we’re bringing you a full-frontal look at female masturbation, discussing everything from its stigmas to its science, including guided practices exploring the ins and outs of the act. In the form of the award-winning podcast called The More You O – your resource for making you-on-you time the newest expression of your skin+care practice.
Episode 1 : TOUCH YOURSELF
To masturbate is human, and it always has been. In this episode, we look at the attitudes surrounding self-love through the ages, a breakdown of its benefits, and discuss helpful strategies for getting in touch with ourselves on all our levels – including an explorative guided practice.

Skin Care KitEpisode 2 : GET CLITERATE
There’s more to the clitoris than meets the eye, but this pleasure-centric organ has been hiding under the surface for far too long. In this episode, we’re going over the anatomy of the clitoris, the misunderstandings that still surround it, and a guided practice designed to get to know the organ more intimately.

With less stress, more pleasure, and our best skin, we’ll all be our best selves – and informed on how to take care of ourselves on every level, too.
