When you post a photo of yourself, do you feel naturally confident in your skin and look? Or are you also one of those who have, unfortunately, become so dependent on beautification apps and phone filters? If you've developed this habit, then stop! You don't need to edit your photos. If you can find ways to look and feel your best in real life and not just on social media, then go for it.
While beauty shouldn't just be skin-deep, there are simple habits you can apply every day that can improve your overall look and image. When you feel you look and dress attractively, you're doing yourself a big favor. It's more than just the looks themselves. It's also about improving your overall outlook, confidence, and self-esteem.
Here's some positive advice you can adopt to make you feel and look your best:
1 - Wash Your Face Every Day
No matter how tired you are at the end of the day, never skip your nightly skincare routine. Your skin has gone through so much in the day. Think of all the makeup you've put on and the dust and grime that you've accumulated.
If you don't wash your face, these will all remain on the surface. The following day, you might find that you wake up feeling less refreshed, your skin will feel dry and old, and in the long run, this neglect can lead to acne and premature skin aging. If you really want to pamper your skin, getting a facial can be a great way to deeply cleanse your skin and provide it with the nourishment it needs. Additionally, it is a great way to relax and take some time for yourself, allowing you to enjoy a feeling of well-being.
No matter how much of a sacrifice it seems, make sure to take a few minutes to yourself to give your face a good wash before going to bed. You may also want to invest in household goods, such as clean and new beddings. If your pillows, beddings, and sheets are old, these may also be hurting your skin and your complexion in general.
Remember that, over time, these absorb all the dead skin cells that come off when you sleep. When your sheets are clean and new, you can sleep better too.
2 - Show Off Your Hips
If you're a naturally curvy person, don't hide those hips! Flaunt them. Whenever you're off to shop for jeans, be sure you fit them in-store so you can see how it looks on you. Don't be afraid to show off your figure.
And when you walk, it doesn't hurt to sway your hips just a tad bit more as well.
3 - Get Skin-Tone Glass Frames
If you're one of those who have to wear glasses, you don't have to feel like an ugly duckling in them. Ditch the dark-colored with big glasses look. Just as nude footwear shapes and elongates your legs, skin-tone glasses evoke the same effect on your face as well.
You can update your look instantly by switching up to glasses in the tones of blush, amber, or taupe, for instance. As to the shape, cat-eye is always a no-brainer.
4 - Fill in Your Eyebrows
Thin eyebrows can instantly add some age to your face. This skinny eyebrow trend is long buried in the past of the 90s. If you've got naturally thin eyebrows, then it's about time you learn how to fill this in. Thicker brows can make you look younger and more attractive.
If you don't have the time to work on your brows every single day or if you just don't know how to do it, there are now semi-permanent makeup solutions for this! You can have an eyebrow microblading session done, which is more natural-looking than the traditional tattoo. It has strokes mimicking that of natural hair strokes, and the color will be tailored to your natural hair color.
There are many beauty products from organicbeautyreport.com that you can use to give your face that little push of makeup without necessarily putting in so many chemicals on your face.
5 - Stock Up on Black Jeans
Black jeans are a staple to have in your closet. If you've found a brand that you absolutely love, then do stock up on this as an essential.
On days when you just don't know how to dress up nicely, black jeans will make all the difference. It sharpens your silhouette and can help you look more put-together, elegant, and classy. Pair these jeans with clean white sneakers or ballet flats, and you'll instantly look more fashionable.
6 - Invest in Good Sunglasses
Investing in good sunglasses doesn't necessarily mean buying expensive, designer ones. (But, if the money is there for it, then why not?) It means one that complements your face's shape.
If you're not familiar with choosing sunglasses, the sales representative at the optical wear shop you'll be buying from can always help you out.
When you come to think of it, indeed there are more reasons other than privacy as to why celebrities seem inclined to wear sunglasses all the time. The accessory does make your face look a bit more symmetrical. Plus, it's an excellent way to hide tired eyes on days when you weren't able to get a good night's rest.
Conclusion
While it's pretty normal to have those days when you just feel blah, it doesn't always have to be that way! Even if you may still be spending most of your time this year at home, there's no reason not to give yourself some TLC. These little tricks above are all it takes to give your confidence that boost. Fashion-wise, you'll also see that it doesn't take expensive designer clothing or accessories for you to look great.
