I don’t like the way I look! I feel like my friends are more attractive than I am, dress better than I do, and just come across sexier, classier, and more put together. I don’t think I have very low self-esteem, but I do feel like I’m missing something. How can I look my best? What am I doing wrong?
We hope you’re not being too hard on yourself! Looks can be a sensitive subject for many of us, and it’s easy to lose sight of reality when we’re critiquing ourselves in the mirror. You should be careful not to be too self-critical, and should consider speaking to some mental health experts if you’re worried that your self-esteem is low.
With that said, there’s nothing wrong with looking your best. To help you look and feel your greatest, here are three valuable tips!
Dress for success
If you want to look your best, make no mistake: you need to dress the part. Even the sexiest folks on Earth can look pretty silly if they’re in ugly, ill-fitting clothes. So, make a point of finding trendy clothes that flatter your body type.
Fortunately, it has never been easier to get great clothes. Online shopping has made the once-arduous process of finding fits and reliable retailers a breeze. Steer clear of the big-box shops and look for trendy online boutiques, where the inventory will reflect the latest styles and the quality of the garments will hold up to in-person inspection. That way, you’ll get affordable accessories and cheap maxi dresses without skimping on quality.
Healthy living, healthy looks
When we dress well, we flatter our body types and make ourselves look thin and fit. When we use makeup and other products, we’re trying to make our skin, hair, and the rest of our features look their best. What do these things have in common? Simple: they’re trying to create and emphasize qualities that are hallmarks of healthy bodies.
So if you want to look your best, you should treat your body well. Take the time to eat right and workout. Practice yoga or take up jogging to make your exercising a routine thing. Take a break and head outdoors: no tanning bed or spray tan is going to give you the natural and healthy glow that comes from a wonderful and relaxing outdoor vacation, say experts who run carvan parks in Cairns, Australia. So why not head to resort and kill some stress (stress is bad for your looks!) while getting outside and exercising?
The mental game
When you think of the most attractive people you know, you’re trying to come up with a list of people who look their best. But science tells us that looks won’t be the only things that inform your brainstorming session. According to experts, we perceive people’s looks differently depending on how they come across in person. In particular, we’re likely to be impressed by the looks of someone with a lot of self-confidence.
So, if you want to look your best, you don’t just want to cut down on your waistline: you want to build up your self-confidence and mental health, too! Looking and feeling good is a virtuous cycle, so make sure your brain is on your side. Invest in therapy and mental health exercises like daily affirmations. Read up on self-help books and embrace the way you look. Forget “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” — it may be more accurate to say that “if you flaunt it, you’ll have it!”
