Nose Touching Gesture

The nose touch gesture is sophesticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Some women use this gesture with small discrete strokes to avoid smudging their make-up. There are various explanations to this gesture:when a negative thought enters the mind, the subconscious instructs the hand to cover the mouth, but to appear not so obvious, the gesture is changed to a light rub on the nose. Lying causes the delicate nerve endings to tingle and the rubbing action takes place to satisfy this feeling.
