Get instant kissable lips with these balms

 

Kissing is not only a sign of affection. You also stand to gain many health benefits from this activity too. Besides boosting your immune system, lowering your anxiety and blood pressure, kissing can actually help you burn a calorie or two. Let us break it down for you. The human face has 43 muscles while the tongue has eight—when you’re passionate kissing, you can actually burn up to 23 calories per minute. Plus, kissing increases your blood supply to those areas so your facial muscles actually get healthier and revitalised. The increased blood flow to the face helps stimulate collagen production, which means better elasticity and prolonged youthful features.

If you ever need a reason to pucker up, there’s no better time than now as today is International Kissing Day. We know you have your lipsticks sorted but before you put on your sexiest red, you might want to make sure your lips are at its healthiest and softest. Something that you wouldn’t want to overlook when you’re trying to turn the frog into prince charming!
