Present Yourself in the Best Possible Way

This article will help you be the best you can be.

Steps

  1. Appearance: This is a great step. Remember that your appearance is how you present yourself to the world, so you need to take care of yourself. While looks aren't everything, looking nice and presentable is important for your self esteem. Embrace your femininity!
    • Hair: Get a nice haircut that you like and learn how to style it in a few different ways (down, bun, headbands, hair clips, braids, pigtails, etc). Get a good smelling shampoo and conditioner. If you use straighteners and curlers, use a heat protection spray first. Make sure that your hair is healthy and glossy, and get trims if you see any split ends. Do not dye your hair because chemicals can also damage your locks.

    • Makeup: Can be a fun way to express yourself as long as you know how to apply it and do not wear too much. Curl your eyelashes and apply a few coats of brown (more natural-looking then black) mascara. Wear a little lip gloss or lip balm in your favorite flavor. If you want to look extra special for special occasions, apply a thin line of colored eyeliner to the bottom rims of your eyes. Never cover your entire face with foundation or cover-up because it's clogs your pores and can cause pimples. If you have problems with blemishes and/or acne, use facial scrubs. Remember to wash and moisturize your face and skin with lotion. Use a few sprays of perfume for a sweet smell (do not use to much!). Keep your nails looking clean and pretty by cutting your cuticles(cutting your cuticles allows bacteria to enter. Push down your cuticles instead of cutting) maintaining an appropriate length, and using a coat of pale pink nail polish, a shiny clear coat, or a classic French manicure. Make-up is there to help enhance your natural beauty, not create beauty.

    • Clothing: Always wear nice, clean, and well-fitted clothing. Develop your own personal style and wear the things you like. Shop within your price range. Wardrobe is a great way to express yourself, so have fun and be creative!

    • Hygiene: Is very important. Shower everyday or every other day. Make sure to wash your entire body with soap. Use deodorants and perfumes to keep smelling good. Brush your teeth everyday, floss, whiten and use braces if necessary. Clean ears, keep finger and toenails clean, and shave or wax excess body hair. Always wear clean and fresh smelling clothing.

    • Health: Drink as much water as you can. Maintain a healthy diet by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Junk food is okay in moderation. Find a source of exercise and do it a few times a week. Take care of any illnesses handicaps, or diseases you might have with advice from a doctor. Stay away from alcohol, drugs, and smoking. Remember that this is the only body you have, so take care of yourself!
