If you enjoy locking lips with the opposite sex, you should definitely do whatever you can to improve your kissability. Being more kissable is important because it can increase the likelihood of you getting smooched. Being more kissable can also prevent sudden turn offs (bad breath, yellow teeth, chapped lips) that can derail a perfectly good make out session. Here are some quick tips to improve your kissability.
1. Whiten Your Teeth
Whitening your teeth using home whitening kits is one of the easiest ways you can make your face extra kissable. It usually takes only one week to get results and costs less than 30 dollars. You’ll get results far quicker than using whitening toothpaste alone and your teeth will stay white for months. The color of your teeth is important because no girl wants to make out with someone with yellow teeth. Even if you have a clean mouth and fresh breath, having yellow teeth will suggest otherwise. So the next time you’re in the super market, consider picking up a teeth whitening kit to improve your smile.

2. Brush and Floss Properly
Having fresh breath is an important part of making yourself ready for your next kiss. Bad breath can make kissing situations worse for two main reasons: it will make you feel less confident and can turn off your kissing partner. If you want to keep your breath clean, the best way to do it is to keep your mouth clean by brushing and flossing. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends brushing twice daily and flossing daily. If you brush and floss as often as the ADA recommends and use the proper technique, you’ll be able to take on your next kiss with the confidence
3. Keep Mints Handy
Popping a mint is a great way to quickly freshen your breath before kissing a girl. Because mints are so small, you can store them just about anywhere, including your house, car, and workplace. While mints can help freshen your breath, they are only a temporary solution. This is why it’s so important to follow the second tip on this list and brush and floss regularly. Having long lasting clean breath is only possible with a clean mouth.
4. Use Facial Wash Instead of Regular Soap
The average guy washes his face in the shower with regular bar soap. While using bar soap instead of facial wash isn’t life threatening, it isn’t always the best idea. Bar soap is usually much harsher than facial wash and can have adverse drying effects on your skin. This can make your face feel overly tight and dry. The sum of these effects make it more difficult to get your next kiss.
If you use a facial wash, you’ll be using a product designed specifically for your face. The skin on your face is much different from the skin on the rest of your body and should be treated much differently. Another benefit of facial wash is that it comes in many different varieties to suit any skin type (dry, oily, and/or sensitive). Using facial wash can also help combat acne and pimples if that’s an issue for you.
Another more obvious reason to use a facial wash is because it won’t be touching your nether regions. When you think about it, rubbing the same bar of soap on your face as your scrotum doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

5. Smile More
Smiling is a universal expression of happiness that can instantly make you look more attractive, friendly, and approachable. While smiling is a very simple and easy thing to do, it can have very significant effects. If you’re having a crummy day and someone gives you a warm and genuine smile, it’ll automatically lift your mood. You can have the same positive effect on other people by putting on a smile. This has obvious benefits when it comes to locking lips with the opposite sex. If you can lift the mood of a girl just by smiling at her, she’ll naturally be drawn to you.
6. Don’t Get Chapped Lips
Having chapped lips is only a small inconvenience in daily life, but when it comes to locking lips with the opposite sex, it’s a killer. When your lips get chapped, they start to dry, peel, and even bleed. What kind of girl wants to kiss a guys with dry, and scabby lips? Having chapped lips can devastate your next make out session, but fortunately, preventing chapped lips is both cheap and easy. You probably already know how cheap lip moisturizers like Chapstick and Blistex are. As long as you can diligently use lip moisturizers when the weather is cold and dry, you’ll be in good shape.

7. Keep A Little Stubble
A Northumbria University study has shown that women aged 18 to 44 prefer men with stubble over men with beards or clean shaven faces. The test pool was fairly small (60 women) but the result could give you a leg up on the competition. So if you have enough facial hair, it might be a good idea to let your five o’clock shadow linger for a few days.
