Women who care about their appearance have commonly been chastised for being shallow and superficial. However, there is nothing at all wrong with wanting to look good. When we know we look good, we feel good about ourselves and are ready to face the world and everything it has to throw our way.
In the midst of a modern woman's busy life, it's easy to get caught up in your hectic schedule and feel like there is no time left to dedicate to yourself. However, you don't need to spend hours in front of the mirror, and everyone can find extra 15 minutes to dedicate to themselves. There are quite a few things you can do to look your best every day, and we are ready to share them with you.
Manage your sleep
One of the best things you can do for your appearance and overall well-being is to get enough sleep every night. Try to change up your daily routine so that you can go to bed earlier at night, wake up earlier in the morning, and still get your 7-9 hours of beauty sleep.
Find skincare that works for you
Although there is some pretty expensive skincare out there, you don't necessarily need a $100 moisturizer to look good. Find a product line that works for your skin type and goals and doesn't disrupt your wallet too much. Also, don't forget that skincare doesn't stop at your face; moisturize your neck and chest as well as the rest of your body.
Drink some water
While face creams and serums can do wonders for surface hydration, beauty begins from within. Drinking enough clean water (not tea or coffee) daily will make you feel better and your skin plumper. Another great way to stay hydrated is by eating lots of water-rich foods (e.g. cucumbers, spinach, or apples).
Eat healthy foods
To continue the topic of food, we must mention that eating healthy does wonders for your overall well-being and appearance. Whether you're trying to control your weight or just want to feel better physically, healthy foods are the way to go. Besides, they can make you go out of your comfort zone a little, experiment with cooking, and enjoy healthier options of your favorite dishes. Better-looking skin is also a great bonus!
Exercise
Whether or not you're trying to control your weight, some exercise will make you look and feel better. Starting off your day with 20-minute yoga practice is a great boost to your self-confidence and physical well-being. Besides, exercise helps your blood circulation, which makes your vital organs (including your skin) get nutrients quicker.
Do your makeup
Now, we're not saying you have to spend over an hour every morning getting ready. When it comes to makeup, a 5-minute routine of some mascara, brow gel, and lipgloss is more than enough. The point is to seem more awake and put-together than you actually might be, and not to look like someone else.
Do your hair
If you have been rocking the same hairstyle for a few years, now may be the time to change things up a little. Whether you want shorter hair, bangs, or just some highlights, the new look will freshen up your appearance and make you more confident. Besides, you can take time every two weeks to get blowouts done either professionally or at home.
Do your nails
We know that French tip nails are considered a classic for a reason, but there are so many equally classy options that don't make you seem older. Choose light neutral colors (like white, beige, or gray) for the chic fresh look. Whether you want to go to a salon or just do your manicure at home is up to you.
Wear comfortable clothes
Even the most breathtaking dress will not do you any justice if it's too tight or too short for you to feel comfortable in. Whatever clothes make you confident will work, even if it's just a simple combo of jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers.
Smile more
One of the most surprising facts about the human brain is that we can trick ourselves into being happy - we just need to smile a little. Besides, when we smile, we appear more attractive to others, and there's probably not an easier way to look good.
Incorporate these simple tricks into your daily routine, and you will notice how much better you feel and look.
