The Beauty Benefits of Ovulation

You look your best during that time of the month.

Mother Nature is a fair-minded woman. She knows that during your “time of the month” you may not feel or look your best, so she has made some subtle changes that leave you looking your best when your fertility levels are highest.

During peak ovulation times your face looks more symmetrical, which is something that is inherently attractive (it reflects good health and genes). Your estrogen levels rise, boosting your blood flow, leading to rosier cheeks and redder lips. Your voice is higher during peak fertility, which is an unconscious signal to men that a woman is most fertile.

At this time you even smell better, which triggers a response in men that’s linked to romantic courtship and behavior. Oddly enough, you experience a self-esteem hit, which actually increases your attractiveness. It means you're more likely to primp, compounding all of the more subtle attraction boosts. So although many of these signals do not lead to obvious physical changes in your looks, Mother Nature is looking out for her own and making you look your most beautiful during peak ovulation.
