The Day My Life Changed

"Hormones are powerful chemicals that cause lasting, drastic changes in the way a person processes their experiences".


Which face is more attractive? Researchers at the University of St. Andrews created composite images of women with high levels of estrogen, at left, and low estrogen levels, at right. They found that men tended to rate women with higher levels of estrogen as more attractive, healthier and more feminine-looking than those with lower levels.

The structure of a person's face gives insight to fertility.
Estrogen caps bone growth in a woman's lower face and chin, making them relatively small and short, as well as the brow, allowing for her eyes to appear prominent. Men's faces are shaped by testosterone, which helps develop a larger lower face and jaw and a prominent brow.
Men and women possessing these traits are seen as attractive because they advertise reproductive health.
