Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota recruited 154 adults to take part in their study.

They used eye-tracking technology to monitor where people looked while viewing a set of photographs.

They asked people to rate how attractive they found them, and their findings revealed that when people stared longer at particular areas of the face they were more likely to rate the picture as attractive.

Overall, for faces rated as more attractive, participants tended to spend more time looking at the mouth, nose and cheeks an area called the central triangle.
