Having a clean and tidy look makes you look good and also helps you feel better about yourself. This can undoubtedly make a difference when you have to go to a job interview or want to hit someone. It doesn't matter if you fall within the classic aesthetic canons or not: a well-groomed appearance will increase your chances of being noticed and making a good impression. The key is to adopt habits that are right for you and be consistent.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Have Good Personal Hygiene
Step 1. Take a shower or bath every day
It should last at least 10 minutes. Taking a shower will help you feel fresh and convey an idea of cleanliness. Wash your face regularly to prevent blemishes. Use a shower gel to wash thoroughly - don't ignore any part of your body, including your feet.
After taking a shower, it is good to apply a cream, whether you are a man or a woman: it will keep the skin soft and supple
Step 2. Wash your hair every other day
Make sure they are always clean and non-oily. The shampoo eliminates sebum, which is a greasy substance naturally secreted by the scalp. The sebum is necessary for the hair but, when it is too much, it makes it fat. Hair needs to taste fresh, look clean and be free of dandruff.
- On the market you will find specific shampoos and conditioners for your hair type. Read the label and try different brands to figure out which one is right for you.
- Don't overdo it with styling tools and hairspray, as they can damage your hair, making it very dry and unmanageable.
Step 3. Take care of your oral hygiene
Toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, floss, and regular visits to the dentist should suffice. Brush your teeth and brush your tongue regularly to prevent bad breath and tooth decay.
Replace your toothbrush every three months to make sure you brush your teeth well rather than rubbing them with old, dirty bristles
Step 4. Fight bad smells
If you shower regularly, this shouldn't be a problem. Also, always use deodorant, possibly antiperspirant.
- You can try using foot powder for the purpose of fighting bad odors.
- If you decide to apply a perfume, it doesn't take much: don't try to use it to mask bad smells. Spray only a very small amount, so that the fragrance does not become nauseating. Remember that there are allergic people. When you hear it from more than a meter away, that's too much.
Step 5. Keep facial hair under control
This is a problem for both men and women.
- If you are a man, shave every day. Do you have a mustache? Make sure the hair doesn't cover the upper lip. Also avoid getting them thick. If you have a beard, make sure it is short and trimmed. A beard trimmer can help you keep it tidy.
- Women should wax to get rid of the mustache. There are a lot of those who have facial hair. Mustaches are very common. Waxing is effective at removing them, but you can also bleach them to make them less noticeable.
- Shave your eyebrows. First, avoid having a unibrow. Both men and women can have great benefits when they treat this area to care. Remove unwanted hair with tweezers. You can also shave them to create a shape that enhances your face even better.
- Trim the nose hair. Those that protrude from the nostrils are unsightly, they also create a favorable surface for the mucus, which will stick to the hair at the least opportune moments. Don't let your nose hair get out of control by trimming it about every two weeks.
Method 2 of 3: Manage the Wardrobe
Step 1. Put on clean clothes
Some items of clothing, such as jeans, can be worn several times before ending up in the laundry basket, but underwear and socks should be washed after each use. When you put on a garment more than once, check for dirt or stains before going out. Do not wear clothes that are crumpled or covered with animal hair.
If you have a pet, keep a hairbrush handy. It will allow you to eliminate lint of different types and all particles that adhere to the fibers
Step 2. Match the clothes
Even if you don't have a big budget, you can still match the clothes you already have. Put some extra energy into creating an outfit than usual, then look in the mirror to see how it fits.
- Don't mix different styles. Do not combine the sweatpants with a shirt or jacket. Avoid wearing white socks and dress shoes.
- Avoid wearing colors that clash. Do not combine shades of different intensities or undertones. Colors have specific properties that help determine if they are complementary or not. You can use the color wheel to learn how to identify these characteristics, or wear mostly neutral clothes that are easy to match with colored ones.
Step 3. Wear clothes that fit you perfectly
Avoid those that are too loose or too tight. Pants shouldn't be so low waisted that panties show. Similarly, clothing that is too tight can look downright skimpy or flirtatious. Look for a size that fits you well.
- Wearing a belt or suspenders can help you keep your pants up.
- Clothes that button up, such as shirts and jackets, shouldn't pull or open in the chest or belly area.
Step 4. Don't wear old, discolored clothes
Avoid all clothes with holes in them that have been out of fashion for 10 years. When a garment starts to deform or no longer fits you, it is preferable to throw it away and replace it. Even if you don't have a lot of money, some key clothes, like a pair of trousers and some neutral shirts, can make a difference for the rest of the wardrobe.
If your closet is full of things you never wear but are in good shape, you can give them to charity. Do not donate worn items or underwear (under any circumstances)
Method 3 of 3: Have a Beautiful Presence
Step 1. Trim your hair regularly
If you don't cut them for a long time, it can be difficult to style them neatly and neatly. Hair does not grow evenly, so it is necessary to trim it to remedy those stages of growth in which it is far from uniform. Make an appointment at the hairdresser about once a month to always look their best.
Step 2. Keep fit.
Staying healthy can have a big impact on improving your physical appearance. The most effective way to do this is to exercise and eat right.
- Monitor your weight and nutrition. Eat in a healthy, balanced way that suits your needs. Don't overdo it with carbohydrates, sugars, and fats. Fill up on veggies and lean proteins. Drink lots of water.
- Stay on the move. Three to four times a week, set aside 30-60 minutes to do a short workout. While being busy, you can develop a simple 10-minute daily schedule. Do burpees, lunges, or similar exercises every day using your own body weight.
Step 3. Always try to be organized
If you are using a briefcase or bag, order the documents and the rest of the contents. If it's full of crumpled papers, candy wrappers, or old receipts, you'll look cluttered and disorganized.
The bag should be clean inside and out. If it's made of fabric, wash it often. If it's leather, polish it
Step 4. Try to have good posture
A hunched person tends to be considered unhealthy, tired, and unable to perform well. Standing straight when standing or sitting will benefit your physical appearance and mood. It may seem unnatural at first, but then it will come naturally to you. It is a habit worth acquiring. It improves circulation and also helps you think more clearly.
Focus on properly aligning your body and improving posture. Place your feet on the floor, with your toes forward. Line up your hips vertically on your knees. The center of the rib cage should be aligned with the hips, the shoulders should be aligned with the center of the ribs and the ears should be aligned with the shoulders. When you sit down, avoid leaning back so that your spine is supporting your weight
Step 5. Monitor your body language
Smile and be friendly. It will surprise you to find that a smile can have a big impact on people. It will allow you to feel better about yourself, it will make you seem more available and reliable.
- Do not cross your arms and do not make nervous gestures - you can make a negative impression.
- When you talk to someone, look them in the eye. Show that you are focused and attentive.
Step 6. Get rid of bad habits
Don't gasp or burp, don't bite your nails, don't pick your nose. These actions will prevent you from looking like a clean and well-groomed person.
If you accidentally burp or flatulence in the presence of other people, apologize profusely
