WHY DO WE KISS? THE SCIENCE OF KISSING

So many are interested as to why we kiss, so much so that there are scientific studies to find out the answer! Philematology is the word used to describe the scientific study of kissing, which analyses how kissing affects the human body in multiple ways, from your mood to your relationships.

KISSING IS A NATURAL BEAUTY BOOSTER

For a lot of people, kissing is a natural beauty booster! When we kiss, many get a rush of blood to the lips which can enhance the natural color of your lips! That just-kissed pout looks fresh, youthful and glowing!

KISSING BOOSTS YOUR HAPPY HORMONES!

Kissing causes a chemical reaction in the brain, releasing what are known as ‘happy hormones’ including dopamine and serotonin; these mood-boosting hormones make you feel happy and euphoric and are released when you do something that feels good.

From VIRTUAL KISSES to love letters SEALED WITH A KISS and the mark left by a HAPPIKISS UPON A CHEEK – kisses make us feel HAPPY! They bring JOY and EUPHORIA to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE!” – Charlotte Tilbury

KISSING BUILDS CONNECTIONS

When we kiss, oxytocin (also known as the ‘love hormone’) is released, which can cause increased affection and attachment for the person you are kissing, building that bond and connection you have with them!

The more your body releases dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, the more it wants them, further strengthening bonds and relationships with those you kiss!
