We all start somewhere
Let’s get real: Kissing can be totally awesome or super cringeworthy.
Without a doubt, a great kiss or make-out session can leave you feeling pretty darn amazing.
Science even suggests kissing can actually be great for your health. A small 2009 study found that kissing can even reduce perceived stress.
Of course, it must be admitted that some kisses just aren’t great. If you’ve had a few of those yourself, remembering them might make the idea of swapping spit with another human seem a little less than ideal.
Wondering where you fall on the kissing spectrum? No need to worry — these 26 tips and tricks can help improve your lip game.
Make sure you’re prepared before the moment comes
We can’t always control when the mood for a kiss strikes, but a little preparation can go a long way.
If you know that kissing might be on the agenda, for example, you might want to skip the garlic bread and onions at dinner.
It also helps to:
Make sure your lips aren’t dry or cracked. Regular lip scrubs, especially during the winter, can help you avoid chapped and peeling lips.
Keep lip balm on hand for a pre-kiss touch-up.
Rely on a breath mint or piece of gum to keep your mouth feeling (and tasting) fresh.
Worried about your breath? There’s nothing wrong with taking a quick trip to the bathroom to brush your teeth.
