I have a black lab and a St.Bernard and the black lab constantly licks my St.Bernards eyes and jowls. When I asked my vet why he did this so much they told me it was a nurturing quality and that my lab was just looking after my St.Bernard.

Why do dogs and puppies lick your face and is it different to when they lick your hand?

Dogs lick your face and skin because they like the taste of salt. They tend to lick your face because your head is usually near theirs and it is the closest thing to lick. A dog licking your face is no different than then licking your hand or any other part of your body for that matter, and it doesn't have any adverse effects for them.
